Hall effect joy support coming soon? :)
telengard:
I was hoping to bid on the Hall Effect joystick on eBay but noticed u_rebelscum was also bidding. Didn't want to get in the way of possible support for the joystick. I'll be busy wiring up my Sinistar joy so I don't feel too bad. ;D
Do they usually go for that much? Congrats on winning the auction u_rebelscum.
u_rebelscum:
Thanks, I hope not they don't go that high usually. I was just feeling the buying spirt since I missed the San Jose superauction. :-\ And now I just read people got like three cabs for $2, plus a working one or less than I spent. Shouldn't have slept through my alarm, dang it. ::)
And "adding" Hall effect support would be all hardware anyway. They're just analog joysticks with a different type of POT.
I'm going to play around with it and see if there's a way to hack it to PC. I've found possibilly replacement linear hall effect sensors for less than 50 cents each, if you buy a 10,000 batch of them. :P (Looks like the original ones aren't made any more, either :( ).

If this was the New England auction, you would have needed a Hummer to make it there given all the snow.
$2 for **3** cabs? Wow! :o
Ahh, so they are just pots. I'm bummed because what had been sold as a Sinistar original joystick was a 2 way optical. That was going to take up my time for the next day or so. I read somewhere that these were the original Joust joysticks.
Off to eBay to find a real Sinistar joy...

If that was the New England auction, and he had made it, he would have kicked himself for days wondering why he braved certain death in the snow for a worthless auction.

No, the San Jose California auction that is being talked about over in everthing else.

As an oversimplification, yes: POTs and Hall Effect sensors are interchangable (in most cases).
