    I am sure the output of the hal sensor and a pot produces the same signal. On my pedals I am using hal sensors on the toe brake but one of those pots just like in the above video for the actual rudder pendulum. I could not get the range out of the hal device. You might want to just use pots on the toe brakes as well. I think its just easier.. just not as high tec:)

    And yes I am sure that is the same video I saw last year.. As a matter of fact I have used that sketch to convert the old style rudder pedals and yokes to usb.. The old,old style used the Joystick port on computers 20years ago.. They go for cheap on ebay now a days..

    The connecting linkage length depends on what hardware you choose.
