Project Update: DIY Joystick for DB9 and USB

edge-records · 22 November 2019, 09:50

Hi all,

Just wanted to make you aware that my Joystick project had a major upgrade:

Now has 2 logical fire buttons. Fire2 is compatible to both Amiga and C64.
Originally it was developed on a Strip Board, but an LED manufacturer named emilum.com offered to contribute a proper PCB layout, which can be downloaded.

Other features of the joystick:

Can be simultaneously or independently used on period hardware and on USB.
Features an adjustable rapid fire. Can be adjusted via pot. Rapid fire is for Fire1 only, and pressing Fire1 overrides the rapid fire (e.g. to charge super weapons).
Comes with all the documentation necessary to rebuild.

Here's a picture:
