In Reply to: How did you do the sticky 4-way? posted by King Of My Castle on 5, 2001 at 5:59 AM:
It uses an Atmel 1200A microchip to modify the 4 direction inputs to whatever I want to program. It would reqire the ability to burn a chip and some soldering skills. (no circuit board required.) More info on this in the next week or two, once I get pictures.
I also cut a hole in the back of the HotRod for PS/2 Mouse port, Com port (for trackball, etc) and Joystick. I run this and the keyboard all thru a 25pin, 25 foot switchbox cable. That way there is only one cable going across the floor.
Again more info when I get the pics.

: : Sticky 4-way: The diagonals stick to the main direction. Press Left then Left/up. Left is still output until full Up is reached. Then go from Up to Left and Up is still output.
: Wow, thats some great info there. Shame there's not a Hotrod user group site out there you can pin this to.
: Can you give me more details about the sticky 4-way switch? Sounds just what I need for the darn Logic Pro game which I keep doing diagonal moves for by mistake.
: JK..
