Yeah, curious then to what he does.

I have a 720 controller that needs serious restoring. Even though I added the analog joystick hack, I want to get that 720 controller working. Add when I do, I'll use it instead of an analog joystick.
The 720 controller is more precise, can sense faster movements (not that you can reach the speed of either), and just has that "feel" that an analog joystick can't replicate.
Of course, I've been smiling a little reading all the talk on BYO 720 controller as I was working on the analog joy software hack. ;)
But rooting for you too. Notice my Q's on Oscar's new encoder wheel? If I can't fix the controller I got ( :'( ) then I'm going to BMO, too. Unless Oscar does to the 720 controller as he did to normal spinners, and is doing to the DOT spinner: bringing it to the masses. (Pretty, pretty, please, Oscar?)

I think it is possible. Just need to make that piece that the joystick shaft goes into on the spinner. Can uyse generic joystick parts, just need ot make a custom mount for the joystick shaft and gromit.

Oh, yes, it's possible. Not easy for me to do, though. :P Tell me how it goes, and I might try too. ;)

I just need parts :) Anyone offer to let me borrow some parts?
I can use my spinner to test, I just need another knob, prefereable plastic for now, adn a joystick that might work.

What do you need? A spinner knob that you can drill holes in and a really long ball-top joystick shaft (kinda like the one on the 720 joystick)?
