I emailed Andy separately and he said they are 10mm in diameter, in both the visible and non-visible sections, and that this is different from Sanwa. I'd like to figure out an RGB balltop solution somehow. |
| MacGyver:
They work great, but the mode is backwards. I have probably done something wrong, 4 makes it 8, and 8 makes it 4. When it's set to 4, the lever is towards the motor side, is this right? This isn't affecting its use in any way. I simply tell 4-way games to run 8-way, and vice versa, I'm more worried I've mounted the motor wrong. I will Frosti, ditto if you find them. |

Just reverse the wires and that should fix it... |
| MacGyver:
I didn't know how it knows it's at the end of the movement, so I didn't want to just start flipping wires around and maybe burn something out. I suspect it's a current draw thing, so it shouldn't matter, but I didn't want to take any chances. On a side note, wouldn't sleeving my current JLF hollow shafts get them to the proper size? I just was thinking, because those might be easier to find, the hardest parts have been done, the threads, clip-end, hole down the middle, now it pretty much just a width problem. The lengths are the same right? |
| AndyWarne:
For the people who requested a way of switching the stick between 4 and 8 way with a switch or buttons rather than from a PC this is now implemented. The control board can be set to "hardware mode" using the test utility. Then 2 buttons or a toggle switch can be wired up, to switch 4-8 way.
