Description

My goal was to build a controller for a train simulator (ZUSI) for as little money as possible. I paid less than 50 euros for all the components.

 

Features:
- 4x levers with potentiometer with 10 or more click stops
- 9x Push buttons
- 1x potentiometer for door selection
- 1x Arduino Leonardo for the controller

 

Dimensions
Width: approx. 25cm
Height: approx. 4cm (without the levers)
Depth: approx. 10cm

 

Levers:
The levers each have click stops. I used 10 click-stops for both levers on the right (brake) and a little more for the levers on the left (drive) so that you can adjust the lever more precisely.
