Title: Arcade Encoder that can switch to analog and digital with a push of button
Post by: Nitro0602 on June 23, 2024, 08:16:08 am

Hey guys!
Any encoders that can do that? Similar to the Mayflash f300/400 joysticks where you slide it to x/y?
I was hoping there’s one that had a mode button where you just push it and switches between the two?

I don't see a mode switch, but maybe this one will work?   :dunno

If you have a ZD encoder, mimregi mentioned this Instructable that claims to make it true analog, but couldn't confirm that it works because he had a different version of the board.

Easy task with arduino leonardo/pro micro or raspberry pi pico

I do it with a minimus AVR and a toggle switch.  Mapping stays identical but the joystick goes from analog to digital input.  There’s no fidelity, it’s just maximum throw in analog mode, but it’s fine for most games.
