How to Connect a Potentiometer to a USB Encoder

Today at 01:10:41 pm by masusaca

Hello there! I was wondering how could I connect or soldered a potentiometer to a USB encoder.

These are the components I have.

I was testing it out, but I can't manage to get the rotation to work properly. I just simply connected the cable and put the red and black on the left and right pins. Then, I connected another cable into the one of the AU, AU, AR,AL (they are the directions). The problem is that since the cable has two wires, I'm not sure how it should work. I tried with the black wire and it did worked, but the crosshair stay on that direction only. I couldn't control it into that direction.

So, what I want is to be able to control only the X axis. Left and right, but be able to rotate the potentiometer and make the crosshair follow that direction slow or fast.

Project Guidance: Tabletop Arcade

Yesterday at 05:07:18 pm by SpatzST

Hi y'all. My friend is building a bar in his basement and I want to build him a little table-top arcade. Probably with just simple arcade games like pacman, some scrollers, nothing crazy. What would be the ideal # of buttons/controls for this? I would assume like 2 joys (balltop?), 4 buttons each (8 total), 2 coin, and 2 admin?

Would this be something a Raspberry Pi could handle without issue?

Ideal monitor? Square 4:3 LCD? 16:9 vertical/horizontal?

I'm assuming I want shallow buttons, microswitches...

Any tips, advice, other info... thanks

LedBlinky and Mameoutputs Virtua Racing help!?

Yesterday at 01:39:58 am by theolditguy

I hope I am not being a total newb with this but I think I am stuck, any help is appreciated!

I have a racing cab I am trying to build, specifically trying to light the VR1 VR2 VR3 VR4 lights for virtua racing, but I also tested outputs for outrunners and outrun. Nothing lights my test LED via MAME.

I am using a 16 output pacdrive, logs say its being identified as PD1

I have one LED hooked up to port 1, in simple LED test it responds, turns it on/off, also responds in ledblinky generate input map exe.

I am calling this port via mameoutputs.ini using PD1,1,1,48 Example:
OUT3=JOYCODE_1_BUTTON6
OUT3=PD1,1,1,48

Mame output test is showing these outputs getting toggled but nothing ever happens, I do have OSD Options set to windows in MAME as FFB plugin works great.

Here is a screenshot of my ini file, input map and mame output test. I know VR isnt in my ledblinky controls.ini but that shouldn't matter right?

Just grasping at straws now,TIA!

Balltop Size of the HAPPS Perfect 360 Joystick

July 08, 2020, 09:25:14 am by baylorj

Hello All,
I need to order a replacement translucent balltop for a broken HAPPs P360 Perfect Joystick.
Does anyone know what this size is, and if replacements are available?

If not, I've had these sticks for over 12 years, any opinions on a good all around replacement?

Thanks
