One problem with the video is how he describes the "potentiometer" (Hall Effect sensor) leads.

- His "up", "down", "left" and "right" tab labels are at best misleading.
- The good news is that he did correctly label the ground tabs. ::)

He names the wires using the default digital mode labels on the A-Pac instead of naming them using the analog mode functions.
- "Down" is 5v.
- "Up" is Y-axis wiper. (Hall Effect sensor out)
- "Left" is 5v.
- "Right" is X-axis wiper. (Hall Effect sensor out)
Also some A1up yokes have the wire colors in a different order -- see reply #4 here. :banghead:

OK Scott you made me take a byte at getting of one of those OSOYOO Pro Micro ATmega32U4 5V/16MHz Module Boards and a breadboard so I can reduce the blisters associated with soldering the pins.
This thing is tiny but I can use the Kade firmware to get Xbox/PS3/PC HID support and Starwars yoke control, correct?
The question I have is about the PCM Mount Screw Terminal Blocks. Do I have to have a breadboard to install these or can I just solder them directly to where the headers go?
Would these be simpler?
Thank you.

The yoke will show up as a HID joypad analog stick and 4 buttons -- just follow the User Guide directions.
- You can change the configuration if you need more buttons or analog axes.
- I've only tested on a PC. That's what the .dat and the layout above were designed for.
- You'd have to ask Bruno to confirm about Xbox and PS3 compatibility, but the firmware is designed to auto-detect and adjust accordingly. :dunno
-- If you want to use the yoke with Xbox/PS3/PC auto-switching, you probably want to stay pretty close to the default ports for the buttons (F5, E6, D6*, F4) and use ports F6 and F7 for the analog axes.
* Port D6 (default port for Button 3) isn't connected on the Pro Micro board.
If you want to avoid potential auto-detect/platform-switching problems with Button3/Port D6 on the Pro Micro, consider using an Arduino Micro, an Arduino Leonardo, a Teensy 2.0, or an Adafruit ItsyBitsy32u4 instead.
- Those four boards have more ports available than the Pro Micro, including D6.

If you get the very small 0.1"(2.54mm) pitch screw terminal blocks, you can solder them directly to the board like Jon did for the KADE microArcade.

Pin row spacing is OK, but the connections aren't just direct from the pins to the terminals (some also connect to the ground plane), the number of pins is wrong, and the labels are wrong because it is for an ATMEGA328P "Nano" board.
