Joysticks

Parts Questions

Hi been trying to sort out a joystick for my planned Midibox 64 did the usual search :wink: and found that using a poc joystick might be cheap and good fun. I opened up a Logitech Extreme 3D and did tests on the pots and they come back at between 20k and 100k - Is the Midi box able to scale the pot response to what it needs or do all pots need to be 10k?

I hope this makes sense.

Cheers

20k will work nicely, I don’ know about the 100k though - just go ahead and try it :wink:

100k is a comparable impedance to PIC analog input. If you MUST use it, adding buffer circuit will solve the problem.
