| Which encoder for a driving game? |

Ok. So who sells one that does both optical (steering wheels) and analog (pots) ??? |
| yotsuya:
PM AndyWarne. He runs Ultimarc and might be a great source. |
| adder:
maybe this below, perhaps andy warne can confirm http://www.u-hid.com/home/index.php |
| yotsuya:
Yeah, I was going to post a link to the U-HID, but I really don't know much about it. |

Which is the best encoder to get? --- End quote --- Assuming that the steering wheels are 360 optical instead of potentiometer. You'll need connections for the following: * 4 optical inputs - 2 optical steering wheels * 2 analog inputs - 2 gas pedals * 8 digital inputs - 6 buttons, 2 coin slots * 5v * GND AFAIK, U-HID is currently the best for optical and analog on one board, but it's priced accordingly. The U-HID Nano or U-HID-G (used one in the pin controller -- see sig) is a less expensive choice, but they only handle 8 inputs. KADE has two beta optical firmwares for the miniArcade/microArcade/Minimus AVR. One assigns the non-optical inputs to keyboard keystrokes and the other assigns them as gamepad buttons. For KADE analog, you'll need either one of the prototype KADE+ boards or you can use the KADE+ spinoff KADESTICK. (see sig) Right now, your best (and easiest) solution is probably to use two encoders, a U-HID Nano for the optical+analog and another inexpensive encoder for the buttons. Scott |
