Talking creating a joystick (oh joy)
I have, getting tired of searching for 3d joysticks that use serial instead of USB, decided to build my own 3d joystick and I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for high quality potentiometers. I'm aware that they become uncalibrated over use and I'm looking for something easy to reset and reasonably reliable. One thing I'm considering is mounting a normal joystick to a swiveling surface and attaching one potentiometer to that.
