Any word on an analog joystick?
SirPoonga:
again, that's 49way to hall effect joystick, not 49way to something the pc can see.

If I am reading this schematic right it seems the information is being sent from the the 49 way throught the circuit and the circuit is putting out X Y VCC and GROUND
Couldn't this be input to a joystic port or am I really not understanding how this thing works.
Lilwolf:
BTW, it would be an easy hack to create. Everything is pretty straight forward.
you know the ranges of a 100k pot... The curcuiit would be pretty easy to make...
But I dont' have the time or the joystick to do it. I will get out my old electronic textbook and see about creating a circuit to do it.

I thought Hall effect sensors were basically pots minus mechanical wear. In other words you can by Hall effect sensors that would return the same values when rotated as a potentiometer. Would that not be something a pc could see?

You're right that Hall Effect sensors are pots with magnetically variable resistors instead of machanically variable resistors. So as long as the Hall Effect resistance range is similar to whatever you're hacking it to, no problems.
