Happs Analog Controller
dommer:
I recently purchased a happs analog controller used off of ebay:

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.

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!
