Throttle quadrant with Arduino

[alexnaughton]

Dear all,

I am looking to build a throttle quadrant with the Arduino nano (I think - I will have to check).

Could anyone help me or point me in the right direction to a step-by-step tutorial?

 Many thanks,

Alexander

I've been looking into this myself for a while. 

Although I've never gone further (so far) than the looking into it part...

While it will most likely be technically possible with the Arduino nano, it will be a lot easier with the Arduino Leonardo or Micro, as those have a built-in USB-controller if I'm not mistaken.

 

As I said, I haven't actually tried it yet. But you may want to give this instructable a shot (if you have the right Arduino):
