Quarterback analog stick
« on: August 26, 2020, 10:07:29 am »
Does anyone know how to get an original quarterback analog stick working in an mame arcade cabinet. The stick is used to pass. Im using zero lag encoders. Any help would be appreciated.

I assume that your "zero lag" encoders are actually "zero delay" encoders that only work with digital (microswitch) controls.
- Use those ZD's on a different project.

You will need an analog encoder for the analog stick.
- An analog encoder can also handle microswitch controls like buttons.

Commonly used analog encoders include the A-Pac, the U-HID (full-size or nano), and a 32u4 Arduino like the Pro Micro with an analog gamepad firmware like KADE miniArcade 2.0.
- The Arduino route is less expensive, but you'll need to load the firmware (directions are in the miniArcade 2.0 User Guide) and solder wires to the Arduino PCB.
