[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] How does one make a joystick?

matt@emtek.UUCP (Matt Meola) (05/04/91)

The subject says it all...  Anyone able to give me advice/references as
to how I might make my own joystick?  I would especially like to make
something like a Maxxim flight yoke...  I HAVE ascertained that 1Meg
potentiometers are used...  It seems like center position corresponds
to about 50K ohms...  Other than that, I don't know anything.

Please send e-mail; I promise to post a summary.
