Title: Saitek throttle - stand alone
Post by: Finn on March 20, 2007, 11:21:49 PM

Has anyone played about with getting the saitek throttle to work WITHOUT plugging into the joystick (i.e. stand-alone throttle)

I was going to use something like http://www.mindaugas.com/projects/MJoy/ (http://www.mindaugas.com/projects/MJoy/) and if i can work out the PINOUTS on the throttle it should be ok.

So ... in a nutshell ... anyone got any idea about pinouts on a Saitek x36/x45 throttle DB15 plug?

(else i guess i will just use trial and error, sorta guessed 90% of them sofar, but wondered if anyone else has tried)

Un-used stick handle PCB’s and switches.

Hi Finn,

I'm sure you can find a used X36/X45 locally.
