    Hi everybody ,i'm jay ,
    i'm french so my english isn't perfect ,,,,,,,,
    I'm 27 years old.i'm big fan of flight simulator , so i've begin to built a simulator , the same than thanos .I'm beginner on new controller , but i'm technician in electricity in industry , i want to learn.

    I will explain all the project and my work on this forum.

    I started to buy all electronics , to realise interface electronics.

    For the moment , i received :

    Parallax basic stamp discovery kit with education board and Basic stamp 2.
    Two Parallax HB-25 motor controllers.
    Two renault whipers.
    Two 400 watts computer power supply's (PSU).
    Max232 circuit board

    I'm waiting :


    ALIMENTATION 9VDC 250MA POSITIVE for education board
    2--ADC0831CCN DIP8 for education board
    CI MAX232N for circuit max232
    RESIST.CARB.220OHM1/4W/5% for circuit max232
    RESIST.CARB.470OHM1/4W/5% for circuit max232
    RESIST.CARB.1KOHM1/4W/5% for circuit max232
    RESIST.CARB.39KOHM1/4W/5% for circuit max232
    RESIST.CARB.47KOHM1/4W/5% for circuit max232
    6--TANTALE 10µF 16V PAS 2,5mm for circuit max232
    COND CERAM 10nF KDPU Pas 2.54mm for circuit max232
    COND CERAM 100nF KDPU Pas 2.54mm for circuit max232
    COND CERAM 1nF KDPU Pas 2.54mm for circuit max232
    2--TRANS.NPN BC547A for circuit max232
    2--TRANS.NPN BC547B for circuit max232
    2--TRANS.NPN BC547C for circuit max232
    SUP.CI STANDARD 16P (7.62) for circuit max232
    4--BARETTE MALE 3 POLES 2.54MM for circuit max232
    SUB-D FEmale COUDEE 9 CONTACT for circuit max232
    CONNECTEUR FUTABA for circuit max232 and education board

    I don't know the difference between transistors BC547 , A or B or C , so i buy them all.

    I'm looking for 2 potentiometers 250 k or two sensors hall effect 5V DC ,
    I try to find , the 2 recommended by thanos , it's regal Rotary sensor Dual Output Hall Effect 9900-series . For the moment , nothing, i haven't find ... i'm looking for potentiometer from RC radio's too.

    So i begin to realise my project,,, i will post some pictures.

    I finished the main structure, I'm missing some PVC fittings.

    If you have any advice for the completion of this part, I'm interested.

    I am not screwed yet, for future adjustments.
