Happs Analog Controller

dommer:

I recently purchased a happs analog controller used off of ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3270960668&category=13718&sspagename=STRK%3AMEBWN%3AIT&rd=1

I got it yesterday, but I didnt get home until around midnight and didnt look at it for long before hitting the sack.  I think it's the same thing as this:

Well, my question is, does anyone have any experience wiring this thing to work in a mame cab?  If so, do you have any advice, links, etc?  

Anyways, thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me.

Sorry dude, no way to interface that to a PC directly.  But you can sell it to me at the price you paid if you want to get rid of it.  ;D

Just joking, wow what a good deal.  Seriously though, I think the easiest way to use it would be to hack to an analog PC joystick/flightstick.

Minwah:

I have one of those too - got it from ebay also :)

I haven't even begun to try and interface it yet.  At first I would just say replace the pots with 100k ones and wire up to the gameport...but this particular stick has a pot amp board, which *may* be possible to connect to a gameport without changing the pots.  I don't know much about how the pot amp board works to be honest so I'll have to do a bit of research / multimetering when I come to make my analog panel.

Of course the other way to do it is hack it to a Dual Strike ala 1UP :)

If you figure out how to do it please post back - I'd love to hear how...I'll do the same if I figure it out, but am a bit busy on other things atm...

David is about to sell a interface that allows you to directly use analog controllers.  It has 5 axis (x, y, z, rotx, roty) and 14 buttons.  Great little board.  Screw terminals and everything.  

outputs to USB.

Might be worth waiting for.

Good point, I'd forgot about that  ::)

Any idea when it will be available?  I have 2 pedals and an analog stick to interface!
