Wiring multiple buttons/joysticks to mini-Pac?
« on: August 17, 2005, 06:28:12 pm »
I'm finalizing my CP design and want to start spending the money -- but I want to make sure I"m not jumping to any crazy conclusions ..

Can I wire 2 joysticks together (8 way and 4 way)  so they both act as "Player 1" ?  Same thing with buttons?  Is that no big deal or am I a complete dolt?

Yep no big deal.  Just run both wires to the same post on the ipac.   :)

Yes, same thing.  Plus you can either run a wire from both joysticks to the input of the mini-pac, or you could daisy chain the two sticks together, whichever is easier for you.
