3 way switch use on i-pac
jedi27:
I guess an optipac could work - I've only wired miine for a trackball, but from what I recall there are indeed 4 available axis (2 "mice"). It's not the cheapest solution, but I'm happy with how mine works.
Have you considered hacking a mouse or two? Just a thought... Also keep in mind that the opti pac (from what I understand) relies on an optical sensor output - what you have are just variable resistors. If this is truly the case then no, they wouldn't work without some modifications...

i think i got it its callec a-pac

this might be the ticket
jedi27:
rock and roll - didn't know about that one!!!
AceTKK:
Right, an Opti-Pac doesn't do analog controls (potentiometers). You'll need that A-Pac or a different encoder that supports analog.
astrothug:
thats the thing there not to many encoders that support anolog, I have spent most of the night looking...lol.. and the A-pac is out of stock, Just emailed them to find out when they will be expecting more.
if anyone knows of encoders Im looking for please post the links, thanks
