Hi Tomek (I assume, this is your name)

> possible ?
You mean: if the original is broken? Or use a external joystick (e.g 
from a table top game) instead of the original joystick? Or in addition 
to the original joy stick?

Basically it should not be difficult. The problem might be, that 
external controllers use individual values for the potentiometer 
resistance. Example: I have two simply external joy sticks from an old 
video game. They have 40k for the y-axis and 500k for the x-axis. So 
these won't fit for the A-174 assumingly. I use them simply connected to 
a 5V power line and the centerpin is used as cv out.


If you are able to modify the A-174, it is not too difficult for you to 
build a simple joystick module from the scratch.
