Re: How many Joysticks are you using?

If you're using zero then use the 'other' button.
(Sorry thought I'd lump the choice together)

4

Two for driving and two that were taken apart so they could be condensed into one port. We didn't need all the extra buttons.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?

Just 1 here --
Using a joystick for drive throttle, using a steering wheel for, you guessed it, steering. And using an xbox controller for arm.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?

4 sticks, a steering wheel, and at least 10 keyboard buttons that we wired ourselves to the OI. I don't know if there is a single open analog or digital port left on the OI that we haven't used.

Re: How many Joysticks are you using?

Two joysticks and a box- four buttons, a switch and a dial. Mayhap the third button (whose LED is refusing to work at the moment anyway) will be rendered unnecessary by the dial.

All the features of the box were wired to one OI Port, except a wire from the switch to a joystick. The last control port (box) is used for testing. So perhaps two and a half joysticks?
