The Joystick Rehab project is about modifying and adapting DA-15 joysticks for use with modern PC's, and producing custom game controllers for your favorite video games. The information provided is meant to help you research the topic and produce your own solutions. If this is your first time here, click here for the website reference!  (06/16/2017) A batch of Arduino Micro's and DB15 breakout boards arrived today. Experimentation will begin with the production of a simple 4-Axis 4-Button adapter for common joysticks such as the early Logitech Wingman, Gravis Blackhawk, and Saitek Cyborg (analog). Once this adapter prototype has been produced, the firmware and hardware specifications will be released.  (05/29/2017) On and off over the last year, the site owner has been experimenting with Arduino in order to learn how to produce Gameport to USB adapters. It was originally intended to produce a single Gameport to USB hardware adapter which could accept different type of firmware for each major digital gameport standard (Such as Thrustmaster Mark 1 / 2, or Logitech ADI, CH Flightstick, ect.) but it seems obvious that even with some standardization there will be variant adapters meant to accommodate the various types of joysticks which flourished in the late 1990's. As such the original documentation for commercial Gameport to USB adapters has been referenced, archived, and cleaned up to take less space on the site. Several articles have been edited, and Arduino and DB15 breakout boards have been ordered. |
