USB mechanical rotary joystick using a real SNK LS-30

Post by DragonsTrap »

Hi, I just made this rotary joystick. Here are some pictures.

I have the rotations registering as buttons 8, 9 and 10. So, at any given time this joystick is transmitting either 8, 9 or 10.
This isn't particularly useful, because MAME needs clockwise and anti-clockwise signals sent.

So... I wrote a program to do that too ;D

And here's a shot of the inside for those interested.
