Just an update here:

Re-designs have been submitted to the library. Should be done later this week.

I am currently editing part 3 of the build guide: Threaded Inserts.

Part 3 is up!

Part three explains the steps to inserting the threaded inserts into the printed components of your Delta Throttle

As always, feedback is much appreciated.

Question about programming

I am preparing to do my next video which will be a guide to the programming.

Does it matter if you have wired everything to the Pro Micro before or after programming it?

Nope it doesn't matter. But make sure you use Arduino version 1.0.6. I just updated that in the build instructions.

Just to give an update, I am working on recording the programming of the Pro Micro.

This is not my area of skill so it is taking me quite a bit of trial and error.

My hope is to show a video that bypasses all the trials I am going through.

I'll update again in a few days

Success!

After trying again today with a cooled temper I was able to get it working

I'll post here now what was happening:

Sparkfun tells you to place the add-on files in:
C, Users, user_name, Arduino, hardware, sparkfun, avr

But sparkfun was my problem. When I omitted sparkfun:
C, Users, user_name, Arduino, hardware, avr

Everything finally worked. Not sure why, but it did

Will begin editing the start to finish video guide of programming the Pro Micro shortly

@zdayton

Ok, so I have everything hooked up and the Pro Micro is programmed.

Is there a way to test that it is all working?

Also, how do I go about getting it to control my ship in Star Citizen?

Thanks!

So tinkering on my own and I found the feature that will test the controller in the Control Panel.

Looking into Star Citizen now
