Attaching Leland Spring Joysticks

(1/2) > >>

campbelldave:
I just won a pair of analog spring joysticks on eBay from a World Series control panel.

What is the easiest way to attach them to a PC for MAME?

Is there an interface that they would plug into directly?  I would prefer not to cut up and splice the wires, if I can avoid it.

Thanks for your help in advance!

Kremmit:
The three most common methods to hook up an analog joystick (which is what those are):

Ultimarc A-Pac (either variety)
Dave's AKI
Dual Strike Hack

campbelldave:
Thanks Kremmit, I will look at each and give one a shot

Justin Z:
This may help.

These connect to the 5k pots on the stick and then interface via USB.  They can support two of the sticks (or a stick and 270° driving controls, etc.) and also have button inputs.

This looks pretty simple.  I will order one and then post a message on how it turned out.

Thanks
