Cable Requirement

A handheld controller PCBA featuring a two-directional joystick, button, and trim potentiometer. It connects using a DIN-802 port and cable and is designed to work with the Eye Mechanism Controller Board - β series - but of course it can be repurposed for any type of project. There is options to include the DIN-802 male-male cable and not.

The outer casing and buttons' 3D files are open-source and available to download, or you can purchase them pre-made. 

What is special about this design compared to other handheld controllers??

This controller features a "Trim Potentiometer" on the back, which can be used to adjust a value and hold its position, whereas most controllers use spring loaded potentiometers which return to their home position. Put simply, this means you can select a value (for example, how wide open the eyelids of an eye mechanism are) and it will stay there!

This is a development board intended for experienced makers and engineers. It may require some technical knowledge to use effectively. By purchasing, you acknowledge the need for appropriate skills in electronics and DIY projects.

Works perfectly! Just plug it in and start using as a controller, couldn't be any simpler!

Really a nice little board that lets you easily control the eyes in a natural way. Very intuitive design and simple operator control without requiring any training at all. Most people pick it up and have it down in 3 minutes. I would be great to do more with the slider control.

I have just 3D printed the case for the controller and found the board fitted well. The eye operation is as expected. I will be looking to buy another for my wife who is building her own set of eyes.

These custom PCB boards are way slick - love the snap fit into their respective components.
Many thanks for such a well thought out product!!
