: I'm not saying this would work for 2 axis, but for my Pole Position cab I use the pulleys and drivebelt from an old cassette player. I put a tiny pulley on the mouse axis and a large pulley on the wheel. : : The problem is that this is an optical gun and not positional gun...so there aren't any pots on it. I played with attaching some small pots on the axis points, but realized (after renting the game) that analog output is not the way to go. I need absolution position x,y sensing such as a mouse (counts x,y). Its kind of hard to explain, but if you rent the game, and try to imagine the analog joystick as the gun, you will soon see. The mouse is the best solution, but how to encode such a small degree of rotation is my problem. : : -Dave : : : : : does it currently use 5kpots? If so, then the best solution is to replace the pots to 100kpots or there is a few joysticks out there you can hack that use 5kpots.
