Re: Help with Joystick connections

Hi,
What do you mean by not having any +5 Aux through the joysticks?

I have it wired to pin 12 (+5 Aux) in one joystick, and then from there, it is connecting the ground to the +5 Aux of the other joystick. Is that the part that is wrong?

If there wasn't any current, how would that explain the Aux Fault (It does not give that when it is unplugged)?

Was I supposed to directly connect the +5 Aux to both joysticks? I thought that was illegal, but I am very likely wrong because I know only very basic circuts.

I'll also try to ask the person who does electrical stuff tomorrow, because he has been sick this week.

The analog inputs may be reversed on the diagram (I quickly drew with Paint an older revision of my wiring plan). I have the correct diagram written down so I'll code to fit that.

Thanks anyway for your quick response :-)

If you have ever played Wing Commander, or especially Privateer, and had a feeling of nostalga derived from the you will enjoy these two Vega Strike mods: Privateer Gemini Gold and Privateer Remake!
