ADC Conversion -> XP Joystick via serial or USB?

2004-01-08 by Stuart Whelan - Simulation Hardware LTD

Hi Folks,

I have nice little ADC system made up using my AVR's, and its working
well. :)

I now want to take the next step have feed that data in as joystick axis
info.

Has anyone seen any sample code (Visual C, BCB, raw C++ or VB) that
shows how to make a joystick driver?

I have to admit to not being able to make head or tail of the XP DDK
stuff.

Any help, advice or points would be appreciated!

Cheers,

In DOS 6.2 the free QBASIC has a STICK(n%) function to return the x/y 
coordinates of joystick A and B.
It also exists in VBDOS but no sign of it in VB3 onwards...

Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply!

Is that to get info from a joystick, or to create a joystick and feed
info into it?

You can use MS DirectX SDK. There is a VB.Net sample (could be done in
VB and possible eVB too) included in the SDK to use a joystick. I have
played with the sample.
