I have been searching for an automatic trim wheel for general aviation, several have them for sale which activates the complete wheel, if I am watching your video correctly, it appears it is only the indicator? I was thinking, thou have no experience, and an old dog of trying to convert my existing commercial purchased trim wheel to a motorized wheel, have you made a fully motorized trim wheel to work with Xplane 11? I can't thank you enough for sharing and the quality of engineering and display of materials designed are well appreciated. I can tell by your web site and commitment to helping others, I hate to ask, but hopefully you reply on how I can totally automate a trim wheel. Thank you again, you are a real asset to the sim community.

Hello & tnx for taking the time to bring it to our community. Now, is it possible to use Potentiometer instead of the Rotary Encoder. I think that is what Saitek is using, no ???

Looks like there is 3 parts not in the files on thingiverse. The picture of the large bracket shows a part going thru the bushing and connecting to the encoder. This part is not in the files. Also the white bracket for the servo, and the positioning needle that goes on the servo are also not on thingiverse. Could you provide me with these files? Also you have a part called a smoother, could you show me where it goes? I'm having trouble printing the trim wheel itself. When the print starts, and it prints the first layer of dots around the wheel, and then when it prints the second layer, it knocks off the first layer dots. What are your 3D printer settings for this part? Sorry for all the questions, but I am kink of stuck at this point. Still a great project and thanks for your effort so far!

Check out SimVim or AirManager. They have provisions to connect potentiometers to a simulator through an Arduino. Or if you know how to code, you can make your own custom sketch. If you've seen Caption Bob on you tube, he has a video on how to do it as well.

Resilution? Kind of plastic etc...) No hurry but if you can help I really would appreciate it Kind tegards

I am OK with it. In fact, I encourage you to build it. Most printers will work. A 200x200mm print bed is large enough. PLA or PETG will work fine along with many other plastics. I used a .4mm tip on everything but the case. I used a 1mm tip on the case just to cut down the print time. Good luck with the build!

Do you think those will work ? . Thanks for sharing and taking time to create this video, it is Awesome!
