Go to Post So basically, the advantage of #35 is that it allows you to be sloppier in your design and fabrication. If you pay close attention to these details, you will never have a problem with #25 chain. - Jim Zondag [more]

Re: USB Joystick to DB15
Most joysticks these days use some optical sensing technology instead of pots. Note if it has trim's or not, chances are if it doenst have trim's, it doenst use pots, it just checks for change, it could care less about absolute posistion.

Re: USB Joystick to DB15
One option to keep in mind, is to scrap the USB connector, and rewire the whole thing. Its quiet an undertaking but i have done it. We rewired a really nice flight sim joystick and throttle set to control a crab drive robot once. Just memorize those OI datasheets and get some db15 connectors and start splicing wires!
