| adding pedals to a flight yoke? |
| (1/2) > >> |
| ultramagnus:
i have a rather good (if old) game port flight yoke, i would like to add some kind of pedals to it, nothing fancy, just standard on-off pedals, is this possible without gutting a keyboard? is there a more elegant way to do this? |

Does the yoke have any buttons? You should be able to connect up to 4 buttons to the gameport. You should be able to do something as long as the yoke has the wires for the buttons wired in the cable... Here's a pinout which might help you trace which wires are which: http://www.technick.net/public/code/cp_dpage.php?aiocp_dp=pinconjoy_pc_game |

If 2 buttons is enough, you could daisy chain 2 buttons together. So have 4 buttons with only 2 different functions. If that makes sense.... |

it makes sense, however i was also hoping to add two more buttons as well as pedals. mmm, looks like hacking a keyboard or using a usb encoder is my only options... damn limitations of the gameport! |
