help what encoder works with pot based controls
discgolfer72:
i just picked up a nice arcade cab with a pot based flight yoke i have the opti wiz from gg on hand will it work for pot based controls or will i need something els
and if so what encoder do i need
mvsfan:
ive always heard that the best way to do this is to get ahold of an old game port based analog stick from the 386 age, and wire your analog flight yoke up to the board.
only other thing you need to do is replace the arcade potientometers with 100k pc compatible pots.
i havent tried it yet though so, use this advice as you feel fit to.
CheffoJeffo:
The OptiWiz is for optical controls.
For something pot-based, you could look at
http://www.ultimarc.com/a-pac.html
or something like a Sidewinder hack ... or look at switching out the pots ...
discgolfer72:
so will the u-hid nano do what i need for 2 pots (up/down , left /right )
http://www.ultimarc.com/JShopServer/section.php?xSec=13
then i guess i would still need a button encoder (i need 4 button inputs as well ) or does it include some button inputs (man i hate ultmarc their site has such bad descriptions of their products gg is so much better)
AndyWarne:
We paid particular attention to documentation on the U-HID and I believe its well covered, with a full PDF manual and connection examples etc including pots.
