Re: USB Converter for MS Sidewinder 3DPro, PP, and FFP
I don‘t think anyone is annoyed that the thread has been revived. I personally think that it is a good thing. I:m not that electronically skilled but do understand a lot so I am curious how your port goes. Keep us updated.

Re: USB Converter for MS Sidewinder 3DPro, PP, and FFP
If you are good at soldering, it is perfectly reasonable to attach a 30 AWG wire to that pin. But we are talking professional soldering, and using something like a fine tip Metcal or Weller iron. Something I wouldn't hesitate to try myself, but not something I'd suggest unless you solder a lot in ...

Re: USB Converter for MS Sidewinder 3DPro, PP, and FFP
Just use an Exacto knife to scrape the soldermask off. Then solder a wire to the exposed via pad. If you can clean out the hole (for the via), you can solder a 30 AWG wire into the hole, but I'd suggest just scrape the soldermask off the surface and don't try to clean out the via. But the bigger ...

Re: USB Converter for MS Sidewinder 3DPro, PP, and FFP
That's an awesome compact adapter you've made Snufkin. I might copy your idea. After giving away my Teensy (built a birthday present using it) I only have a Pololu A-Star 32U4 here. The PB0 isn't broken out, well not to a readily usable extent. Does anyone know of an easy way to remove solder mask ...

Re: USB Converter for MS Sidewinder 3DPro, PP, and FFP
(OK, I retyped this after comparing the schematics myself.) The schematic for the Teensy 2.0 board can be found here: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/schematic.html I compared the Teensy board vs. the A-Star 32U4 Micro board you mentioned, and they seem schematically to be the same. The A-Star does not ...

Re: USB Converter for MS Sidewinder 3DPro, PP, and FFP
I live in England and am finding it a bit hard to source a Teensy 2.0 that is affordable or that I don't have to wait 4 weeks to receive. I assume you can use other Atmel32U4 Dev boards provided you wire up the components correctly if the board has different pin assignments/labels to match the ...
