Takes 320 us to transmit, all three take 760 us.Hey, I couldnt find the troubleshooter on that link, however i ran the windows troubleshooter for configuring a device and it recognised one problem: Transmit speed is 300 kbit/sec, first packet
The packet layout seems to originateįrom the Mac version of SW3DP. The SW 3DP sends three packets, each 22 triplets long (64 + 2 bits).
On the second link, I found this information Digital mode of MS SideWinder joysticks I have found this links, and I read them even though I have a poor vocabulary(it was good practice though :))

I would suggest a ton more research before attempting to use it (you might also consider in your first experiments, once you know the proper hardware protocol, to use the Arduino as a form of "logic analyzer" to record data coming from the joystick pins, so as to have a sample of the data to compare to any software protocol description you may find). Whether or not this information is easily available for this joystick, I don't know - but I suspect it very well might be. You will either need to find a description of this protocol or figure it out yourself regardless of that, though, you need to find out what the "hardware" protocol of this joystick is that is - what pins are connected for what purpose for -this- joystick (as other "digital" and "expanded" joysticks and peripherals that connected to the game port might have and most likely did use a completely different set of protocols). How or whether you could interface this joystick via the standard pins is kinda "up-in-the-air" likely, the joystick is sending some kind of stream of data via some hardware (connections on the game port) and software (how it is communicating the data from the joystick axes and buttons) protocol.

Hopefully, you haven't damaged the joystick (test with a PC that has a gameport, first).
In other words, it is highly doubtful that this joystick is operating as a simple PC-style joystick using the standard analog interface of the game port, which is what you seem to be attempting to interface with. 16 or 20) while special features such as daisy-chaining multiple joysticks, force feedback or joystick programming become possible in some cases.

High-end game port joysticks such as the Microsoft SideWinder rely on multiplexing a proprietary data stream through the 4 standard button inputs and sometimes through the "unused" pins, achieving full support for a rather high number of buttons (e.g. You didn't read that article very carefully, did you? From the article (emphasis mine): VY = map(constrain(valY, 0, 1023), 0, 1023, 0, 5000) Īlso this is the information about this joystick.Īccording to the link above, I used those pins to get some readings with Multimeter. I also wrote this program to get readings in mVolts. Pin 6 - Y axis for joyistic 1 (0-100kohm) Pin 3 - X axis for joystick 1 (0-100kohm) I moved the joystick, but it didn't change its resistance value. I got about 50 kohm while it is in its normal position. On the connector, it has only Pin number 1,2,3,4,6,7,10,11,13,14.Īccording to the link above, I used those pins to get some readings with Multimeter.

I have a Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro Joystick, and I would like to use it for my robot without a computer. First of all, I don't know whether I put the topic in the correct forum or not.
