Here is a little list that I found, maybe it'll help, maybe not, but here it is... 1 +5 Vdc N/A 2 Joystick A - Button 1 I 3 Joystick A - X-pos I 4 Signal GND N/A 5 Signal GND N/A 6 Joystick A - Y-pos I 7 Joystick A - Button 2 I 8 +5 Vdc 9 +5 Vdc 10 Joystick B - Button 1 I 11 Joystick B - X-pos I 12 MIDI OUT O 13 Joystick B - Y-pos I 14 Joystick B - Button 2 I 15 MIDI IN I Jeremy - spam_OUTKB8LFATakeThisOuTqsl.net KB8LFA - K2 #600 http://www.qsl.net/kb8lfa/ -----Original Message----- From: pic microcontroller discussion list [.....PICLISTKILLspam@spam@MITVMA.MIT.EDU]On Behalf Of Darren Logan Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 1999 2:52 PM To: PICLISTKILLspamMITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Joystick wiring diagram Hi there, Im wanting to interface a joystick to a PIC. Has anyone got a wiring diagram or know where I can find one of the 15-pin joystick connection ? Cheers, Darren

The Hardware Book, at http://hwb.acc.umu.se/index.html, has many good connector pinouts; http://hwb.acc.umu.se/co_GameportPC.html is what you want, pretty good reference IMO. It's solidly bookmarked here. The pots in the joystick are 100k IIRC; the sliders of the 4 pots go to pins 3, 6, 11, and 13; You feed 5VDC & Ground to the joystick (on 4 pins & 3 respectively - Redundancy can be good <G>) I forget how the buttons go (Pullup in the joystick or not? I forget) - I know the buttons GROUND when pressed IIRC. I have joysticks here, if you don't have one yet, will meter the buttons out if you ask <G> (Probably will ask the HwB folks to add that info as a note, just a minor improvement but good info!)

Every manual for the Sound Blaster cards should have this in its appendix, other wise search for Midi Interface for Sound Cards on the net, the whole thing is spelt out in great detail because sound cards use 2 pins in their joystick socket to pass midi in/out.
