Help with joystick

2000-02-28 by thomas white

Hi again gang.

I am planning to make a joystick controller on my own as a learning 
experience. I will be using the CH Mach-2 joystick from CH products as 
previous mentioned in a message by Nathan H. Can anybody help me out with a 
schematic for the +5/-5v circuit I need to use with the joystick? I have a 
block diagram of the circuit, but nothing specific. I want this to be of 
good quality to work into my MOTM so anything complicated is not frightening 
at this point. :~)

I like how this joystick can release either spring loaded axis at a time or 
both for free floating movement. Would I be able to use the two joystick 
buttons to generate 5v triggers to fire EG's or re trigger LFO's? I figure 
the panel would include the DB-15 connector, 2 pots, X & Y outs, and maybe 2 
Trigger outs? Please advise my friends. 1 connector, 2 pots and 4 jacks = 1 
space MOTM panel. Or do I even need the CV adjustment pots due to the 
trimmers on the joystick?
