Wiring Diagram for making a Joystick
 

Above is the wiring diagram that I hacked togethor in paint. I spent an hour looking around for a diagram of how to wire up a controller the other day and could not find one. After a lot of googling I eventually found enough information to make my own and you can see the above diagram of it. The team needed more buttons than were on one joystick and as most teams know, there were two right handed joysticks in the kit of parts. I gutted one of the sticks and rewired it to suit our purposes of just having buttons. We now have a nice big control panel with a bunch of elevator buttons as switches for our various tasks. It was a load of fun making this thing. Anyway, I am posting the diagram if anyone wants to see it. Have fun girls and guys.
