PLAN B analog blog

Our joystick has internal trimmers which allow actual zero volts be
set based on where the joysticks rests in the module, which may or may
not be it's full travel if it where not installed.  This withstanding,
the throw is about 10 degrees further on these joysticks than any I've
ever seen.
 
This joystick is mounted in a round bezel ('mask') and based on the placement if it's potentiometers,  max levels aren't in the corners, they're where indicated on the faceplate of the module (see A, B, C, D).

Hope this helps,

Plese not
