Re: Joystick or Game Controller

Where is the "both" option? I plan to integrate both dual joystick control and gamepad control on the operator controls, with a toggle switch on the button box to hot swap between the two. Why?
  1. This makes the controls accessible to a wider range of potential drivers and driving styles. There are always a few analog inputs left unused every year - easy enough to port the y-axes of our additional sticks to those.
  2. While I fully expect it is a quality product, I don't like relying blindly upon unproven hardware like the USB-Chicklet. It's one additional link in the chain that could go bad. Always have a way out.
