Aeromax throttle module
About the Aeromax throttle module
Aeromax throttle module is an open source PCB design by ninemind, published on GitHub under the CERN-OHL-S-2.0 license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 42 × 15 mm, with 5 components from 4 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the MT6701CT-STD-R. By type, the board carries 2 crystals, 1 IC, 1 capacitor and 1 resistor.
From the project
Unofficial, open-source DIY throttle module for the VIRPIL CDT-AEROMAX, with 3D-printable parts, KiCad PCB files, and assembly documentation.
An unofficial, community-built throttle module for the VIRPIL CDT-AEROMAX. This project began as a working replacement for the unavailable factory throttle module, but the interface can support much more than the original-style lever.
The design combines 3D-printed mechanical parts, a custom KiCad sensor PCB, and a magnetic position sensor. The module interface also provides a connection for an additional button, leaving room for custom levers, collectives, twin-throttle designs, and other original controls.
