-If you already have your nice sim pit setup you don't want to change, and just need a solid collective lever to complete it, this is your choice. This version here does not have the top extension slot, if you want it, just take the enclosure part from the regular EVO version, and route the ethernet cable between the base and the extension inside of the base box.+If you already have your nice sim pit setup you don't want to change, and just need a solid collective lever to complete it, this is your choice. This version here does not have the top extension slot, if you want it, just take the enclosure part from the i2c EVO version, and route the ethernet cable between the base and the extension inside of the base box.

   * axis switching: this lever can drive 2 throttle axes with 1 physical throttle grip. The right mode switch controls which axis is assigned to the throttle pot at the moment. When you flip the switch, you need to reach the position of your other axis before it will start moving, to avoid sudden axis value bumps and having to remember what is where.   * axis switching: this lever can drive 2 throttle axes with 1 physical throttle grip.

From thereplease solder the USB-B socket to a cut micro-USB cable (look at the colors of wires in the picture below, the socket on the pic is facing us), insert it into a Pro Micro board, and then follow the connections table:

 +To make soldering the USB-B socket easier, cut some part of each wire of the ribbon cable on the Arduino side, making it thinner. After soldering, carefully check that the board is detected by your PC and can be flashed, and pour some hot glue onto the board to fix soldered wires. After it cools down, check the board again, if it works, go ahead with the rest of the wiring process.
