DIY Controller Using Arcade Controller Interface
Posted on: 17.11.2012 by Verna Lagneaux
i am looking into building a DIY controller, a bit like the MIDI Fighter, using this interface :
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PC-PS3-USB...item3f1db77104

i would then use Fergo JoystickMidi to use it with traktor

i was believeing if there was any possibility of using rotary encoders or pots with this interface, or would i need a different one?

so the analog inputs are pots, and digital are switches/buttons?
Correct

The schematic is a bit unclear - I would check that the joystick inputs are analogue.
Some of those arcade controllers use key presses as joystick movements.

22.11.2012		yeah, I just had a look at the joysticks by the same seller, and they have 4 microswitches underneath them, just like the buttons
thanks anyway

20.11.2012		Make sure your pots are 10k. Read manual and see which of the connections are analog inputs.

19.11.2012		so i could use 4 of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-5pcs-B...item4ab0ad8948 ?
does the resistance matter? nad do you know how i would attatch them?
thanks for your reply

18.11.2012		It says 2 joysticks - that's four rotary potentiometers. Not so sure about connecting rotary encoders.
