he means that you should be able to daisy-chain them or wire them each directly to the same input. something to avoid, for example, would be to wire the second joystick to the NC tab on the first. but then again, i dont understand why people still insist on putting separate 4-way joys, especially 2 or more, when there are very nice switchable joys available. why not pick up a t-stick or two when you shop for an i-pac or omnisticks when you get a keywhiz? just boggles the mind.. |

Sorry. Quick and dirty answering doesn't help much. You need to make sure that the joysticks are each directly wired to the IPAC seperately. That way either stick can close a circuit without the other. Wire the sticks in parallel. Alternatively you could take the wire from the P1UP terminal on the IPAC to the NO tab on the up switch on the four way, and then from there to the NO tab on the up switch on the 8-way. Assuming you have the ground tabs on those switches wired, either switch could send a signal to the ipac via the up wire. The bad way to wire it would be to take the wire to the NO tab on one switch, and then take a wire from the ground tab to the NO tab on the next switch. This would be wiring in series, and bad for what you want. Here, a picture explains it better: |
