pots for Happ analog joystick

Pages: (1/4) > >>

Matthew Fisher:

I have a Happ controls analog joystick on the way, but I will need to replace the 5K pots with 100k.  Happ's wants over $25 a piece for its "s taper" (which I think means linear) 100K pots.(!)  Do I have to go with these, or would any linear 100K pot (assuming it fits) work? 

u_rebelscum:

Any linear POT that fits will work, but high quality POTs are better than low quality, and happs says theirs is high quality (not that I'd listen only to them) ;).

Other options include leaving the 5k POTs in and use an interface such as AKI, APAC, or others that can take 5k.

I think the "s taper" describes an S curve in a rotation vs resistence graph, but I'm only guessing.

rdagger:

I have a Happ analog joystick with 5K pots.  I used a DualStrike hack.

Minwah:

I would stick with the 5k pots and interface as u_rebel says.  I have found in the past 5k pots work best.

Matthew Fisher:

I would gladly hack a DualStrike, but my only problem with the hacks, A-pac, etc., is that I can't use USB (at least I think I can't because I'm stuck with DOS for now).  Did the DualStrike ever have a gameport version?  I couldn't Google one, so I'm assuming no...
