Here, you will find my design for the Boeing 737 Throttle Quadrant, as seen on my website and YouTube channel. This version DOES NOT require a Saitek unit and is growing in popularity and becoming my number-one download. This unit is designed to be much stronger, simpler, and better than previous versions!
PLEASE NOTE: I would highly recommend the MTU over this version. The MTU can be built without motorising it, offering a better, stronger, simpler build. Then you have the bonus if you wish to motorise it later. This version can be found here: https://www.737diysim.com/product-page/737-motorised-throttle-unit-mtu-v5
This version requires a print bed of 220 x 220mm.
The throttle quadrant can be interfaced with the much cheaper Arduino Micro Pro/Leonardo board, which costs around 3-4 Euros. But if you want a much simpler and hassle-free interfacing board, look at the Leo Bodnar Board, which costs 25 Euros. This took several months to perfect, and you can see the final result in my YouTube video. It has now also been greatly added and modified to make it even better.
The unit features:
- Operational Speed Brake Lever
- Dual independent Thrust Levers
- Dual independent Thrust reverser levers utilising potentiometers
- Flap lever with gated guards
- Bell cut-out switch
- A/T Disenagage switches
- TOGO switches
- Operational detente Brake lever
- Working Park Brake Light
- Operational Fuel Cutoff Levers
- Operational Stab Switches x 2
- Friction Brakes on the main levers
- Manual operated trim Wheels (One active dummy recommended)
- Working Trim Wheel Handles
The Parts List for electrical and mechanical components is included. It is currently based on a Leobodnar Joystick (25 Euros) OR an Arduino micro pro/Leoarndo card (4 Euros). The Arduino board will require MMJOY2 software to be converted to direct joystick cards.
This CAD design can be adapted to suit your sim's needs. It can also be improved or inspected within Fusion. The fusion file can be found in the attached PDF file.
This file includes the wiring Diagram, all STL files in WinZip format, a documented parts list, a Cover Plate Mod, a Spd Brk Mod, and Trim wheel mods.
If you intend to purchase, print and sell this product. That is acceptable, and congrats on providing a service to the sim community, but you must mention that the design is from www.737DIYSIM.com
