    Hello

    My FSSB R3 broke so i decided to fix it using some strain gauge amps. Given that the HW is quite simple there shouldnt be an issue for people to DIY this relatively easy. You could probably get away with 3d printing the plate but the connection rod that goes to the stick would need to be able to take a fair bit of force which was always my main problem as it breaks on the threads. You could possible do it so you have inside (lineup issues) threads instead of outside to add enough strength and of course print it so that the plastic aligns with the direction of force.

    4 amp version to combine strain gauges into one and get double resolution and gain range. You need to set all amps to 0 so you get the full range. Then in the code it will reverse one as one will compress and the other expand so they cancel each other out in this configuration. If you place one on top and one on the bottom you dont need to reverse. After its combined into one axis.

    Basic. 2 amp/pot version. Should be working properly but report any bugs.

    It will rotate both axes to emulate the HW setup in the f16 stick.
