Dual Analog Trigger-stick control panel

(1/1)

BadMouth:
I bought a Cyber Sled CP to learn about how Happ Analog sticks work and to see if they would be useable in an analog joystick project.
That project requires bat-tops and by the time you bought all the parts to convert these to 100k bat-tops you might as well just buy brand new ones.
So I'm going to swap out the pots with cheap radioshack ones and hack it to a cheap gamepad.

See a teardown of the analog sticks here:

Here is the CP:


Trigger stick handles are there, just not attached.

Logitech gamepad I picked up cheap, but haven't had any real use for:


Disassembled, analog sticks removed.
The cheap radioshack one-handed desoldering iron kicks but at removing components like this.
It took me two minutes tops to remove both and they each had 14 solder points.


Just planning on coin, start & the four trigger and thumb buttons for now.
Will probably utilize the speakers since they are there.

BadMouth:
meh, not a lot documented.  :lol

hack gamepad, swap arcade pots with 10k ones, wire....done.

The solder points for the four shoulder buttons and the two thumbstick buttons were all through-hole, so it made for an easy pad hack since I only needed six buttons.

I did have to decide where to put a credit button.
There wasn't enough room on the front.  Thought about the side, toward the back, but that's kinda out of the way.
Ended up sticking it between the speakers.  Not the prettiest, but it made things simple because it is on the same piece everything else is mounted to.







The speakers aren't hooked up to anything.  I didn't want anything but a single USB cord coming out of it and I'd rather listen to my TV speakers than USB powered ones.  Maybe someday in the future if I actually use the thing on a regular basis.

I'm calling this one done.  I'll post lists of dual triggerstick and single analog triggerstick games when I get around to making them up.

One more for the pile of oddball controls that I'll only break out every once in a while.    :lol

coldhammmer:
long shot but I'm looking for a replacement cybersled controller like you had. any chance you still have it and would sell it?
