MS SideWinder Tutorial ** Please Help **
« on: December 06, 2003, 09:26:41 pm »
Can anyone please help ?

I've searched this board end to end, and cannot seem to find a working link to a good SideWinder hack (gameport model)  tutorial.

I want to read up on it, and check out a few pics so I can follow along when working on my own. Does anyone know of such a site, or better yet, a few pics showing the progress of one being made?

Thanks in advance,

Michael

FANTASTIC !!  I knew I had seen that somewhere, but for the life of me, I couldn't find it. Thank you so much.


I do have a few questions though ....

Quote
Bolt the whole assembly to wood and connect all the wires to screw down barrier strips. You will need about 24 sections per joystick.

What exactly are barrier strips? Also, with the wires protruding from the SideWinder board, what's needed next to connect them to the Microswitches? Last, but not least ... that ONE ground wire is all I need for the entire hookup?

Thank you again.

You can get them cheaper from other online places, but this gives you an idea of what they are and if you don't want to wait for the mail, you can get them locally at RS.

Okay .... I've seen those a thousand times and never knew what they were called.  :D Now I do.

Thank you, so much! I mean that! All of you have been so helpful.  This time , not only have I bookmarked those links, but I printed out reference sheets so I can add them to my project guide.

Again, thank you so very much.
