1/29/04 I got some answers:
The OI interface they tell me has the same input pin assignments.

__________________________
I have the following feedbacks but I do not yet have the new Joystick schematics. I would like to have the New Joystick schematics. Thanks to the Team members below for offering the following to me which I am now passing on to all Ch delphi Inet Team members.

(from innnovation first)
1) Do not know, you would have to contact FIRST.

2) The pinout info is in the OI Reference Guide located on our web site.
You should be able to used the Dashboard view and see which switch or pot on
the joystick activates which item on the Dashboard. Then use the OI Guide
to map the switch or pot name back to a pin number on the port.



If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email.

Hi David,

The pinouts on the OI are the same as last year. It's a standard joystick
configuration.
You can see the pinouts in the attached diagram. The diagram was actually
released by FIRST to give teams a method of attaching two joysticks to a
single OI port if they wanted, but the pinouts on the chart are what you are
actually looking for..
