Console support: At the moment these can't be used as full analog sticks on X-Box / PSX. This is something in the works though. There are raw analog outputs on the I/O connector and these are for plugging into a new interface board which will support this. No timescale on this though.

Hmm... I'd be seriously interested in getting full analog out of this thing for consoles. For our sticks, we keep the pcb's in a removable project box, so the same stick can be used on multiple platforms. If I can pull a raw analog signal from the joystick and feed it into the boxes, I'd be in heaven. It looks like I can, but I need some clarification:
http://www.ultimarc.com/ultrastik_inst.html
When used in "output mode, USB not connected", Is it sending both digital and analog signals out? Blue, Orange, Yellow, Green + Grey, Violet wires? I'm confused on this point because it also says: "The post auto-detects which mode you are using." Does this mean it auto-detects between input mode and output mode only, then sets itself to send or receive the appropriate signals to/from the posts? Or does it also disable the analog out (grey/violet) if you're using the digital out (Blue/Orange/Green?Grey)?
My Notes (somebody correct me if I'm wrong):
Same mouting plate dimensions as a super.
Oval top is ~5mm shorter deck-height than a super, Ball top is ~18mm shorter.
Shallower than a super below panel.
BOATLOADS cheaper than Happ analog sticks.
Includes an 8-button encoder (input mode only).

I seem to have that issue with all of the links I visit on that page. :cry:

Wow, this looks like an awesome product. What's the minimum mounting depth on this stick? (Wonder if I could shoehorn it into my micro cab...)
EDIT: Found it--2 inches. I think I could get it to work depth-wise. Not sure yet if I'll have room for the plate.
Oh, and it'll work with my Sanwa mini balltop? Awesome.
MameMaster!:
Andy...I own a bunch of your encoders and I have to say you've outdone yourself this time.
I just wish I didn't have a full collection of encoders and joysticks now floating around in the MameMaster laboratory!
I still may pick up one or two soon.....
Well done! :cheers:
