Interfaces

markt:
What are your suggestions for an interface, I am probably going to have two rotary joysticks, two Happ super joysticks, a trackball, a spinner and misc buttons.
I was looking at the Hagstrom ke72t and the ultimarc optipac.
Are these good choices?

btp2k2:
Go with the Ultimarc MiniPac.

One board will cover your sticks, trackball and spinner, plus it uses a wire harness rather than having to cut and crimp everything by hand

bamarquez226:
Or, go to www.groovygamegear.com, and check out the interfaces. You have a choice of keyboard, USB, or optical mouse.

I'm using the MiniPac, but the wiring harness is too short for my panel. I'm going to have to splice in longer wiring to get the project done. Other than that, I love the features of the encoder and all that it supports.

Kaytrim:
Both Ultimarc and Groovy Game Gear (GGG) make excellent interfaces.  My personal preference are the ones from GGG.  You would need to get two interface cards from GGG a KeyWiz or GPWiz for the supers and buttons then an OptiWiz for your trackball and spinner.  The KeyWiz is a PS/2 keyboard encoder, the GPWiz is a gamepad encoder otherwise they perform the same function.  If you want an all-in-one solution go with the Mini Pac. 

The above will work for everything except the rotary sticks.  For your rotary joysticks there is only one solution currently, the rotary interface from Ulitmarc.  http://www.ultimarc.com/rotary.html
