Stevos758 Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 I have seen the ones at digikey but those are pretty pricey. Anyone using anything else? Facebook Ripp's Garage Tech LLC
Hansolo Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Depends of cause on what pricy describes, but have purchased some of these for another project: http://dk.mouser.com/ProductDetail/ALPS/RKJXL100401V/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsFLoxuNbFfpZShZwK%2fk0zKuBwCn03XHGE%3d Cheers Hans Edited February 25, 2014 by Hansolo New supplier link.

I was looking at the leo bodnar 8 ways but I don't really need 8 ways. Facebook Ripp's Garage Tech LLC
Hansolo Posted February 25, 2014 Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Hi, I am pretty sure this is the data sheet for it: http://www.alps.com/products/WebObjects/catalog.woa/E/HTML/MultiControl/Switch/RKJXL/RKJXL100401V.html Added a photo of how to wire it up. I have removed the original link as mine had a bad connection and didn't work in all four directions :cry: But you can find similar here at Mouser : http://dk.mouser.com/search/refine.aspx?N=4294959953&Keyword=multi%20directional Cheers Hans Edited February 25, 2014 by Hansolo Photo added 132nd Virtual Wing homepage & 132nd Virtual Wing YouTube channel My DCS-BIOS sketches & Cockpit Album
sapounas Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 I will use the analog 2-axis joystick from PSP like devices Joy 1 Joy 2 They cost about 1 - 1.5 Eur and the only difference between those 2 is that the second has the contacts face down. It being analog helps me to consume only 2 Analog ports instead of using 4 digital pins to my arduino, it just need some more programming the threshold, you know like the table: X = 0v (UP) X = 5v (DOWN) X = 1 - 4v (middle no use) Y = 0v (LEFT) Y = 5v (RIGHT) Y = 1 - 4v (middle no use) The only thing disturbing is the smooth move, it doesn't make the HAT click sense... but it is cheaper :thumbup:
