 Zytel Gimbals




Single Axis Stick Assembly

 All Metal w/Teflon Bearings Gimbals
(See description and prices below)

  In addition to using these fine All metal w/Teflon bearings Gimbals in our own transmitters, we are presently working with FMA to install these Gimbals into the custom built version of their soon to be released T-200 Transmitter. That transmitter, when ready will be sold through FMA. You can find their site in the Links page.

There are various configurations for custom built Transmitters.   Below is a Single stick Version that belongs to our boss.

 Single Stick Version Transmitter
(See description and prices below)



________________________________________________________________________
Below is a Dual Stick Version

 Custom Made Computerized Transmitters   (Dual Stick version directly above)
(See description and prices below)

  We manufacture custom made Transmitters. At the present time, our complete transmitter contains Gordon Andersons' design of a computerized encoder with a two line, 16 charactor Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)  This system boasts all the latest features as other competition models have as well as 16 aircraft memory and automatic trim feature. Most of our sales are for the long awaited Single Stick version, however, we have Dual Stick Custom Made Computerized Transmitters versions available.  In addition to these fine internals, we also sell individual components and or parts kits that are pictured below.  We will also fabricate you  a custom designed case, if you so desire. Just tell us how you would like to have it (the controls orientation) laid out and we will build it.  If you would like to even design and do your own cut-outs, thats fine too.

MicroStar 2000

Components and Wiring Identification

  Using the photo above of the MicroStar 2000 (M*2K) encoder board with the various wiring harnesses and  attached components; the following is a brief description of what is being shown:
  The center component that all of the wiring is connected to is the  M*2K Encoder that has been fully populated with all of its individual electronic and mechanical parts that make up a complete Encoder.

Starting at the upper left hand corner is the  7 pin Din connector harness with mounting hardware. This harness plugs into pins 63 through 70 of J2.  Red nail polish identifies pin 64.  Also see the "Encoder J2 Pin Assignment sheet" herein below these descriptions. The coil of unused wiring is for future development


Moving clockwise in the photo above, the next item(s) is a  controls wire bundle that goes to all of the control sticks, knobs, and switches. This harness is plugged into pins 1 through 62 of  J2 connector strip. The nylon "tie ties" holding it together is simply for esthetics for this photo. In reality, the individual wire pigtails are neatly routed to their respective control component. See an example of a typical interior wiring herein below. Also see the "Encoder J2 Pin Assignment sheet" herein below these descriptions for detailed identification of the individual pigtails..


Moving clockwise in the photo above, the next item is the  LCD. It plugs into the 14 pin connector of J3.  The two flat 7 conductor ribbon cables and end connectors are included with the LCD.  We offer two types of LCDs:  1) a 2 line 16 charactors per line, and  2)  a 4 line 12 charactors per line.  The 4 line 12 charactor display is cheeper, however, because of the included circuitry cost for the four line version, the price for each display is the same.

Moving clockwise in the photo above, the next item(s) are the mounting brackets with mounting hardware attached. They come with the encoder described above.


Located at the bottom of the board and to the left, in the photo above, is the 6 Pin Din connector.  It goes from the out side of the case to J7 on the encoder board.   Also attached to the 6 pin Din connector is the charging leads that go to the  Power Harness that is discussed hereinbelow. Because of their common connection at the 6 Pin Din Connector, they are a combined component, and not sold separately.


Moving clockwise again in the photo above, the next item is the  Power and Signal Cable going to the stand-alone RF Deck. When the soon to be produced synthesized RF Deck is used this harness/cable will be a 9 pin connector off of J6 of the encoder board.  At the present time, only the three conductor power and signal cable is depicted and priced.


The last item coming off the left side of the encoder is the  Power Harness. It connects to J1 of the encoder. One set of power leads go to the 6 pin Din connector (the charging leads).  A third set of power leads go to the attached fuse, which in turn will connect to the battery pack. That leaves the three red wires that connect to the power switch. The longest of these red wires goes to the "on" side of the power switch.  The mid length wire goes to the center post(s) of the power switch.  The shortest wire goes to the "off" side (charging) of the switch

 Encoder J2 Pin Assignment   By: Marv   Jensen   


The following Table depicts the Standard pin assignments for J2 on the Encoder.

The view orientation is with the Encoder on its' speaker end and looking straight at the end of the pins, with the foil side to the right.

There are ten (10) 3 pin connectors, and 16 of the 2 pin connectors. Both types of these connectors are razor sawn from  the 36 pin single row female connectors that are listed as item 39 on the parts list (Digikey P/N 929974-01-36-ND). The 3 pin connectors are utilized on pins # 1 through  30.  The 2 pin connectors are utilized fro pin # 31 through 62.  The 8 pin connector that utilizes pins # 63 through 70 are razor sawn from the 36 pin dual row  female connectors that are listed as item  51 on the parts list (Digikey P/N 929975-01-36-ND). It is four pins long and two pins wide.
