I used the A-Pac for my selfmade yoke (modified Road Riot wheel with triggers) and it works great. Also you are free concerning the pots. You can use capacitors to connect to the different pot sizes so you don't have to change the pots. |

I thought Cap-Res circuits were used for time delays (amongst other things)? Shows you how much I know... How would you hook it up and what value capacitor would you use to knock a 100k pot down to 5k? |

Don't worry....concerning capacitors I'm one of the greatest lamers on earth ;D But I think they are used to "compensate" different pot values at the pins of the IC. As you can see here : http://www.ultimarc.com/a-pac.html You can use a 10nF cap for 100K pots. There once was a little formula how to calculate for other pots but it seems they removed it. You can see my little report here : http://www.retrooffensive.de/diverse/02/index.htm Sorry, all in german but if you have any questions please ask. |

OK...I finally got off my butt and took a bunch of photos of the SW Yoke that some of you may find helpful. I'll do a follow up post soon on the dimensions...but these photos may help some of you with your projects. For reference, Happ Controls is now selling a set of handles that are obviously for using in a home built yoke if you're interested...follow this link--- http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/50250800.htm |
