Thanks Ivan! Nice to have a look at what all these different controllers do.
I too like the look of the Wiard. I found joysticks at Alltronics (maybe All
Electronics -- I always get them confused since they both sell surplus): one
kind was an old PC joystick, the other looks to be for adjusting power seats
(or mirrors) in a car -- it's very small. I think both were 150K, and each
could have different uses in a modular. I have to find some jacks for the PC
ones I have, and trace the pins. I was thinking of putting a jack on a 1U or
2U MOTM panel with several pots and jacks, but leaving the joystick remote,
to be set off to the side of various controllers.

Thanks again!
JB
