Go to Post Sorry, during my fluid mechanics lectures on drag I must have been designing a gearbox in my mind. FRC season will do that. - sanddrag [more]

Re: usb to db15

I suppose the easiest (cheapest) implementation might be a variation of Mike's solution above. Use that USB-to-serial converter more and more team have to buy for their new laptops, and couple it to the serial port on an old EDU controller (or for example a PIC) with a program to interpret the XBox control commands and output via the analog and digital outputs on the EDU to the db15 gameport on the OI.

The use of a microprocessor driving the gameport will probably be against the rules though, but it would open up a lot of interesting control possibilities!
