Hi List,

A long, long time ago, MECI used to offer a 150K joystick, made by Noble.  I bought some, and they were sweet indeed.  In fact, they were the one's used by Grant Richter for his Joyrider modules, I believe.

Then, they disappeared, only to reappear at Alltronics.  They're still there:

Scroll down to the 150K joystick (not the 10K).

Now, when MECI sold them, they sold these really nice, very cool bat handles for them.  I don't know if Alltronics supplies those, but if you want them, MECI still has them:

Scroll down to the bat handle.  It's easier if you're in your bat cave and using your bat computer =-D.

To top that off, my idea of a really cool, yet very simple joystick controller is Scott Bernardi's design.  Not a lot of parts, but some real bang for what he uses - unipolar/bipolar modes, process signals, cv's or generate voltages, inverting and noninverting positions, etc.  I've breadboarded it, and it does deliver.  You can scope it out here:

And, IIRC correctly Peter Grenader has posted a very simple schemo, and I believe even Grant Richter has some designs at the Wiard site.  Haven't looked for a while.

Cheers,
Scott
