Today I took apart my Thrustmaster T16000M HOTAS, both the stick and the throttle. Nasty jumpy drift on both stick yaw and throttle analog stick. Fixed with some alcohol cleaning.

Thank goodness Thrustmaster designed these in a way that you can disassemble them to atoms and put it all back together without breaking anything but your warranty terms. So many people have said that these last for maybe 50 hours, but I'm well over 200 hours in already.

`@ozoned` interviewed me on my home cockpit on a live stream via his #Owncast instance at https://stream.ozoned.net/. This is a more condensed version of the stream that is still just 1h shy. We’re going over almost every feature of my Primary Buffer Panel and I explain how everything works. I also decided to add various photos, slideshows or video snippets during the talk only sections so things don’t get too boring. Sometimes that even complements the talks

Ever wondered how to start your own DIY #homeCockpit / #SimPit on? It’s easy. Just watch this stream

I'm back on my #arduino #HOTAS bullshit. My new project will include two Arduinos connected with i2c.

Mega will gather tens of digital button inputs and handle all the interference from terrible soldiering and weird connections.

Leonardo will handle a few analog inputs, get all the delicious button data from Mega and emulate the joystick
