Suzo Inductive Joysticks, the full story...

<< < (9/9)

ChadTower:

Any progress here?  I'm about to drop an Inductive into a JAMMA cab, would be so much more valuable to have a soft 4/8 way switch method.

davieboynj:
Does anyone know what kind of potentiometer (linear 500 ohm, etc..) the suzo uses?  I'm going to be setting these up in my cocktail soon, and wanted to add a panel mounted potentiometer to my cab... 

Level42:
Honeslty, I've found a setting that is quite good for both 4 and 8 way. It is not perfect however. every now and then, I hit a wrong direction on Ms.Pac Man.
So I too am interested in getting this done. It should be pretty easy. First find the perfect setting for 4 way, measure the pot's' resistance (needs to be soldered out first 1).
Then back in again and measure again for the 8 way setting.

Than make a switch and use resistors that are as close as possible to the measured values, or use a second pot.

In an ideal world, the software (mame/mamewah) would know if the game is either 2,3,4 way or 8 etc. and switch over the stick resistor value automaticaly (using a small relay).

I can do the electronics stuff, but not the software part.
