How do you plan on interfacing the Happ analog stick with the Platstation?

Hiub1 has been spearheading the happ analog to ps2 interface. We will be sure to post notes as we go.
Danny, right now we are about to place an order with happs for the analog and other sticks. I am finishing up the cabinet design so we can make a mockup for sean to put his hands on then the final build. Hope that helps.
danny_galaga:
sure does (",)
RetroJames:
Update;
1. I am working on the mockup now, Hiub1 was going to do it but I found that I needed to in order to work through a few issues with the design. The final plans will depend on Sean's final input based on the mockup. This portion is going a bit slow, but this is the price of fatherhood especially during "teething season." I am shooting to have something complete by end of the weekend, but as always I can only do my best.
2. Regarding the Pelican sticks. The one used for testing (i.e. the one used to determine it would not work in true analog mode) will be kept for parts if needed as will the two gamepads purchased to date. The second Pelican (unopened) is being resold to Arcadiac for the cost + shipping that was paid from the Sean CP account. Arcadiac will be depositing these funds into the account posted by Saint. **Saint, please let me know when it is posted*** I will cover shipping to send it along to him. When the dust settles, if we have leftover parts (i.e. the first pelican and the spare gamepad, we can sell or ebay those to recoever the funds for Sean's account).
3. We have heard from Happs regarding the analog sticks, we needed the ultimate handle sticks with the 100k pot option only currently offered for the analog sticks with the "regular" handle. They needed to internally create a new part number etc to do this. They will do so but the sticks will be non-returnable. We believe we need them and that they will work so we would like to order them as well as a pair of Universal (4-way/8-way) sticks, 4 buttons, and some carriage bolts from Happs. I may add a couple of cherry switches with armatures (like the ones used for coin mechs) to that order for the pressure switches we talked about near the wrist to emulated the ps2 switches activatedby pressing down on the analog sticks of the gamepad) I will compile the part numbers, prices, etc for Saint to order through the company that is donating the Happs parts.
4. Currently Sean is MIA. I have sent a couple of emails and pms with no response. After posting this I will be sending a note to Sea Monkey to see if he has had any luck contacting Sean to see whats up.
5. PS2/Mame - The current plan is to "double-wire" the cp for both MAME and PS2. The CP will basically be used on the platform to which it is plugged in at any given time.
6. CPO - When we finalize the layout, I would like to put a nice CPO on the CP. If anyone is willing to whip up a cool design when we get there, please let me know.
My biggest concern right now is that Sean is not checking in. Arcadiac reminded me that it takes longer for folks in Sean's situation to get settled in to new digs, but it has been a while and I will feel better when I get some word that he is ok etc.
