Flight Yoke with Star Wars on blue elf pcb
« on: April 28, 2016, 02:14:52 am »
I'm working on a Atari hydra converted cabinet that has a star wars style flight yoke.  I was wondering if there is any way to set a blue elf up with analogue controls from a flight yoke.  I can see there's track ball support but I'm not sure about analogue controls.  I know there's also a multi vector pcb based on the blue elf pcb.

Has anyone tried hook a flight yoke up to either of these?

So far I have never seen any of these multi game boards with analogue inputs, but as you say, several have inputs for optical devices (trackball).

There is a Horizontal vector multiboard 21-in-1 for sale (can't add any url, you need to google it yourself), but it doesn't say anything about analogue inputs.

Universal JAMMA Connector
User Friendly Game Selection Screen
Free Play or Quarter/Token Option
Supports CGA (standard resolution) and VGA (high resolution) Monitors
Each Game Is Fully Customizable (Difficulty, Game Speed, Number of Lives, etc)
Enable/Disable Specific Games
Standard JAMMA video output or VGA output (hook PC monitor up directly)

Uses standard arcade power supply or ATX PC power supply (with standard 4-pin molex connector, the same used for hard drives/cd rom drives)


However there is an extra connector that I can't really figure out the purpose of, so perhaps there is additional inputs to the JAMMA pins?

There's a track ball connector and there's also USB for PS3 controllers.  There might be one for video out too.

I would love to figure out a way to do this. I thought I read about a device somewhere that converted an analogue signal from a pot to optical.

the multi vector pcb can't do the analog for star wars, either.
raspberry pi is compatible with analog inputs via the ram controls interface, I know.

which reminds me, retrouprising doesn't offer proper analog controls for their iteration of SW arcade, either.
