[sdiy] joystick pots

[ElmacacoX at aol.com]

thanks everyone!

I ordered 4 of these joysticks along with the stick knob/handle from 
meci.com, along with a few toggle switches.  nice price too!!

I was thinking of making a couple into a sort of "modular" joystick,

say, a jack for each pin of the pots (totalling 6) with the extreme pins 
switched to pos. and neg. voltage, maybe with an attenuator pot or a switch 
for each pin to limit the voltage range.
I was thinking of this incase I would want to use the joystick in part as an 
attenuator,  patching ground to one pin, signal to the other and then output. 
 I thought it mught be interesting to do this on one axis and have voltage on 
the other.
does this sound like overkill?  I am pretty excited about setting it up and 
that way it wouldn;t take up a vca to do the same thing.

thanks again guys
