keep in mind when using a non-standard joystick the amperage requirements... we forwent these this year and had disaterous results.
for example... the controller outputs about 100mA of (poorly regulated) current. A standard potentiometer-based controller uses about .05 mA per axis. however, when we switched to an encoder-based controller, we found out that the current requirements were much higher, weighing in at
20mA per axis. One pair of joysticks easily overcame the limit, and actually fried our 2004 OI (rip) through over testing. the results were flaky as well, while the controller still worked. so remember to be careful
