Re: usb to db15

I had an idea as to how this could be done with USB. It involves writing a driver for a laptop.

You need the laptop to interpret the USB signals from the gamepad and run the driver for the gamepad. Then you send a data stream to a microcontroller. The microcontroller uses it's digital and analog outputs to output to the joystick inputs on the Operator Interface.

Very complicated. You would definitely get major props for creating this and bonus points for a white paper.
