Thanks Bender :)  I guess I skimmed right by it.

Like I said I have the top fire and the rotary (separate sticks) working but this project and tutorial are on hold for a while till I finish building my current project "Benderama"
I want to use this in that project so it will be a priority once I finish the build

With Benderama now out in the wild, any chance we can see a tutorial on how you built that U360 rotary?   :notworthy:

Bender:
yeah, my next step is to try to get both features into one stick!!!!!
It's been a while since I messed with it hopefully I remember where I was

I'll have to do a little better documenting this time :)

AndyWarne,
With the U360, can the electronics currently sense the direction the magnetic field is running (where "north" and "south" are) as well as where the magnet is?  I was just thinking if the U360 could tell where north and south are (like a compass), then you could use electronics to sense the spinning of the shaft.  If it currently can't,  what about adding a some HMC1501's or  HMC1512's to measure the angle of the magnetic field?  This could give a way of sensing the shaft spinning without having to add an encoder wheel to the shaft and the optical sensor.

No. If you think about it, if this were the case, the joystick position would go all over the place if you rotated the handle.
