ntydk Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 This is my last HE upgrade project for CH Flight Sim Yoke. To replace OEM TPM faulty potentiometers and circuit board. Here is the YouTube link: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 So that's what the inside of my yoke looks like. Where do you buy the hall effect sensors you're using from? In the other thread you indicated something about 3D printing? OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

ntydk Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) So that's what the inside of my yoke looks like. Where do you buy the hall effect sensors you're using from? In the other thread you indicated something about 3D printing? Good Morning CRJ_simpilot, Hall Effect sensor IC => 3503 Linear type (Sources: https://www.mouser.com/_/?Keyword=hall+effect+3503&FS=True) (Spec: https://prom-electric.ru/media/ugn3503.pdf) 3D printing process has the benefit and advantage in custom making the PLA casings and supporting parts that closely matching the dimension measurement of the OEM parts. This will assure the conversion or modification with better success rate. However these 3D printing design and experiment steps do take a lot of effort in the developing process in additional to electronic design and testing. Hope this helps.

CRJ_simpilot Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 I have several pages with that hall effect sensor. Do you have a link to just the one? Also, do I need that 3D printed casing or can I install that sensor as is. I think I could, but not sure. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk?

CRJ_simpilot Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Actually, how do I find the right hall effect sensor for the right potentiometer I have in my yoke or pedals? Is there a number equivalent? Or is it just my voltage and amp spec or range? OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E.

ntydk Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Actually, how do I find the right hall effect sensor for the right potentiometer I have in my yoke or pedals? Is there a number equivalent? Or is it just my voltage and amp spec or range? The beauty of my HE upgrade Mod is no IC programming is required. Straight forward application only. Any ratiometric linear Hall Effect sensor with 3.3 to 5V input (operating voltage) will act as a voltage divider when expose to magnetic field which generated adjusted voltage signal (approx 0.8 to 4.0V) based on the yoke position and send to flight sim yoke controller. So the hall effect sensor must work with permanent magnet. Casing just provides a home for the components, as long as you have other proper installation method the casing is not necessary. Check out the HE sensor Mfr. Part # DRV5055A1ELPGMQ1 in Mouser Catalog. Let me know if you have questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Ah, so there's more involved here than just the potentiometer. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk?

ntydk Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 Ah, so there's more involved here than just the potentiometer. Really enjoy in exchanging the thoughts and ideas with you regarding the HE Projects. Thanks again for your interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
