Joysticks [was: SV: [sdiy] Matrix FX preliminary panel]

[Seb Francis]

I still have a couple of joysticks available for sale .. I've posted my 
original email below ..

I'm currently working on a controller device using 2 of these joystick 
which will output 6 analog CVs as well as fully configurable MIDI data.

I have managed to get hold of a small quantity of 3-axis hall effect 
joysticks at a very good price, with the intention of using them for 
analog synth control.  They are brand new and I'm selling them at £40 
GBP each.  This is much below the normal retail price of approx £90+VAT.

These kind of joysticks are typically used for industrial control, 
wheelchairs, etc, so they are really high quality & rugged with a very 
nice feel.

The particular model I have is the HFX-33S12 which is:
Model 1300
3-axis (i.e. joystick moves in X, Y directions, knob twists for Z 
direction)
Square mounting plate (actual panel cutout needs to be round)
Drop in mounting
0.25V to 4.75V output voltage with 2.5V center.

Here is the page and datasheets on the manufacturer's website:
