ntydk Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Hi to all, I am working on an enhanced Hall Effect HE upgrade kit (with reverse function solved) for Saitek PS2 or USB TPM (throttle quadrant). I am also curious how many of you would like to upgrade the OEM potentiometers in your throttle quadrant into a Hall Effect sensors. This will benefit those who have suffered from the unstable or defective potentiometers without dumping the Saitek TPM box with a good controller board into the trash can. Per some Simflyers wishes to hold on to their USB Saitek TPM after replacing the bad potentiometers as a good temporary solution with the new honeycomb yoke before purchase the honeycomb TPM unit. In my opinion ( I am not an expert though) the Saitek does have a good design and value in sim gear for beginner, except the notorious bad potentiometer reliability. I realized the Saitek new USB TPM price is become expensive compare to 5 five years ago, but still affordable than other TPM products. For many years before 2019 I was in the same position as other with a terrible "jitter" nightmare and frustration in my Saitek PS2 and USB TPM due to their old age. My new developing HE kit saves my Saitek TPM from going into the recycle bin. However in my HE design, you still need reasonable basic DIY skill in taking the TPM apart, removing the OEM lever and the defective potentiometer then install the HE components (new lever and HE sensor) back by yourself. That means you will do this with your own risk and void all remaining quarantee of your flight gear offered by Saitek/Logitech. I have some left over parts for a couple more set of HE upgrade. Just want to recapture my total cost of this development for materials and tools. Later I will make an instruction video on Youtube for my HE kit upgrade to share. Please let me know how you think with clicking the thumb up or down icons leaving me an constructive comments. Thanks for your attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
