The creator is very kind and helpful, once you get a hold on him. But he can stop answering for a long time and you have to persistently send him mails to try and wake him up. Allthough I'm happy with this product, I don't think I will go to him for more. Microhelis seems like a good option number two. I just have to do some research on button soldering and tube-bending. Kind of hard to plan without having all the measurements beforehand.
This looks great! Did you model this yourself? Walmis had mentioned to me in a previous post that with a shift register + an Arduino as an SPI slave you can have both digital and analog inputs to the Rhino/VPForce board. Iβm currently in the R&D phase on that but not very far yet.
No need to solder that. Just need to make an adapter for the arm itself. Plug the Komodo gripβs plug into the Komodo base to use it only for buttons and use the rhino for the cyclic axis.
@andyhill Authentikit is cheap because itβs a kit. You 3d print the big bits, then put em together with hardware and discrete components like hall sensor 3 pins and tact switches.
Their hall sensor βunitβ is quite slick and easy to put together. And since you get the file, you can design around it easily for whatever you like. It is kinda chunky though. So it canβt go IN a grip.
