Idea

Minimize the well know 4-strain gauges analog joystick approach to have it in a size suitable for use in diy HOTAS...

Project progress...

Initially I hoped to be able to do everything in PETG, however that gives me after applying force for a longer duration is shift in the 0-point.

That's why I decided to print the stick part in TPU and enforce the part which shouldn't bend with an internal screw....
