Analog Joystick to USB interface
Interface (P18F2550 and mikroPascal based) interface between an analog joystick and a PC via USB.
The purpose of this project is to provide an interface between an “old” analog joystick (in this case a
joystick from Quickshot with 2 buttons and an X and Y positioning), connected via a game port (DB15 connector) and a PC via USB.
The analog joystick uses as X and Y positioning 2 potmeters.
The hardware and software should be easily be adaptable to other joysticks.
Also: the software is written in MP but it should be easy to convert it to e.g. C and to use the USB interface available in that programmiing environment.
