adding pedals to a flight yoke?

(1/2) > >>

ultramagnus:
i have a rather good (if old) game port flight yoke, i would like to add some kind of pedals to it, nothing fancy, just standard on-off pedals, is this possible without gutting a keyboard? is there a more elegant way to do this?

Minwah:
Does the yoke have any buttons?

You should be able to connect up to 4 buttons to the gameport.  You should be able to do something as long as the yoke has the wires for the buttons wired in the cable...

Here's a pinout which might help you trace which wires are which:

Well in that case you'd have to 'get rid' of two of them and use them as pedals instead.

If 2 buttons is enough, you could daisy chain 2 buttons together.  So have 4 buttons with only 2 different functions.  If that makes sense....

ultramagnus:
it makes sense, however i was also hoping to add two more buttons as well as pedals.


mmm, looks like hacking a keyboard or using a usb encoder is my only options...

damn limitations of the gameport!
