Pressure sensative Joysticks

I'm looking for a good pair of pressure sensitive joysticks. they have to be able to interface with the OI. For those who dont know, pressure sensitive joysticks dont actually move (noticeably) they feel how hard they are being pushed (using coils of wire and measuring changes in capacitance). I find it much more natural to drive with pressure sensitive sticks then normal joysticks. Does anyone know were i can find a pair?

Re: Pressure sensative Joysticks

I don't think you'll find any that can connect directly to an IFI Operator Interface. It's pretty specific in wanting to read a 100k variable resistor.

You might manage to come up with a circuit that can be powered by the OI, connect to a force-sensitive joystick, and provide a voltage that will satisfy a joystick input pin. Unless you're an accomplished circuit designer, however, I suggest you learn to drive FRC robots using your wrists instead of your fingers.
