Some Star Wars Yoke help, please?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Havok:
Sidewinders are still easy to get through ebay. I paid $5 shipped for mine. The Sidewinder was fairly unique in that it closely matches what a Star Wars yoke needs as far as an interface, so it is incredibly easy to mate the two together. I am not aware of another gamepad that has this close of a match.

I know you prefer to buy locally, but you really can't go wrong with Ultimarc, if you don't want to go the Sidewinder route - Andy will support you AFTER the sale, and his products seem to be of a very high caliber.

I'm currently building a mini yoke, about the size of a video cassette, and making it totally from scratch.  I'm using a mouse hack for tracking, and the initial tests are faster and more responsive than the joystick/Dual strike hack.  I'm having to do without gears with this option, and it might work for you.  Also the triggers are not microswitched, but membrane based so it will be quieter.

I also had problems finding good pictures, but the tutorial on this site on BYO star wars hack is an excellent source.

Good luck to you, and please post pictures of your project as I'm keen to see them.

None of them have the perfect side-on view you are looking for, but there are a bunch of pictures posted in THIS thread, in the B/S/T forum.

EDIT I just looked the photos over again...and they may not help. If you're still stuck PM me and I'll take some close ups.

KMWS:
Thanks for all the help so far everyone! :)

I had considered trying a mouse hack, and I may still look into it someday if I find the time to, but for now it's probably best for me to start a bit slower by more closely following Menace's 'how to' page.

Are you referring to Menace's and 1up's tutorials, or some other ones?

I doubt mine will be anything spectacular, but I'm going to try and document my progress :)

Wow! There ARE some fairly good shots showing the backs of the grip there!

Thanks! :)
