About the Libre-MiG IO Controller PCB

Libre-MiG IO Controller is an open source PCB design by JustEnoughDucks, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 60 × 34.3 mm, with 31 components from 11 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the TCA9535PWR and MAX11613. By type, the board carries 15 capacitors, 8 connectors, 5 resistors and 3 ICs.

From the project

Open Source Joystick/Open Source Flightstick that combines the Olukelu Gimbal with a MiG-31 inspired Flightstick designed for Star Citizen or space simulators

I saw few options for open-source flight sticks out there. Commercial options are exceedingly expensive. I strive to build a full-featured and high-quality Flightstick with a target BOM cost from 150-200€. It is not meant to be the cheapest joystick, but it does aim to be the most attractive option for open-source and DIY enthusiasts.

BOMs, parts lists, and documentation for various gimbals and 3D printed joysticks are sparse at best. I aim to include an extremely comprehensive requirements list, drop-in replacement part list, etc... so that this will be as accessible to everyone who has…
