A blog at instructables reveal the hidden Analog joystick feature of the Zero Delay USB Encoder. Do a google search to find. KZfaq kills comments w/ links. Mode switches directional output between digital and analog. Joystick becomes a POV high-hat/D-pad and visa versa. 10:09 R1/R2 X-axis (Analog X - Roll), R3/R4 Y-axis (Analog Y - Pitch), R5/R6 Z-axis (Throttle), R7/R8 Z-Rotation (Rudder - Yaw). All analog inputs share a dual 10KΩ resistor voltage divider to center the inputs. J1 uses a 0Ω resistor to default input mode at boot, digital(high) pins, Analog(low) pot/resistors. J2 & J3 are other presets floating, unknown use.

You have no idea how useful this was to me. Thank you.

Thanks for going over this in such detail.

This video tells me exactly what I need! Thanks so much kind sir (*hats off*)

Omg! This i ordered a couple of these and was so nervous to play with them. This video was so helpful!

Hurray, just what I was looking for, just ordered one and couldn't find any documentation, good work!

Excellent straight to the point well done thank you

Resistor nodes can be modified for use of 20k potentiometers in analog mode, just cut inter-pairs and place the pots

9:53 i got the same board today and was confused on the +5 but you explained it to me and now it makes me want to try to put a LED in it for my arcade cabinet i'm making thanks.

Hello. Thank you for helping us understand this.

The red and green LED on PCB indicates the MODE, which can b e toggled with a momentary push button. I was just testing this board with Tekken 7, if we change the mode, the RED light turns to GREEN and the joystick works with TEKKEN 7 without any additional remapping software.

Hello Olaf Wagner , maybe there is the possibility to go directly on D-pad mode instead of starting using Analog with the jumbers and lack of resistors. Actually i have to manually switch after. Very interesting!

Good video I used this board in a button box I built for ATS and ets2 for what it is it's good

Thanks for the great video! it helps me alot with configure my joysticks :)

Thank you for the help.

Cheers buddy. Helped me out heaps

Just bought one so I can convert an old Atari 2600 case with a PI into a retro game thing for old consoles. Probably will use the old PI1 I have as it has composite out. Will be wiring the connectors into atari 9 pin male joystick ports so I can use real Atari joysticks :)

Do you know how to change digital (POV) mode for default? So i dont have to put a mode button.

verry good explained. Thx

I had what I figure must have been a power surge that fried my pi. After replacing it, I find that these boards (I have 2) no longer work either.

I tried the turbo and auto fire in this no delay joystick and doesn't work, or I do not know how to operate this functionality! Can you try it for me please and tell me how to make them work? just auto fire and turbo? or maybe try them in a video tutorial if possible! Thanks

Awesome work !

Thank alot for guide much respect

I am trying to build pedals for sim racing, would a 10k resistor on the up / down sockets and the device on digital mode work to register the throttle and clutch as they should be ( not just 0 and 1)

Wow i think im in over my head 😢

I want this board. I want to replace the electronics of a Interact SV-286 Digital Joystick that has an old game port to USB 1.1 adapter. All the switches, including the Hat switches are standard surface mount micro switches but with solder pins instead of connectors. This Joystick has like 20 switches in total, but I only really need like 11 or 12. I could use the ones I dont use now for the Auto Fire and Mode settings? However my concern is the UP, DN, RIGHT, LEFT ports. Will these 4 ports work in Windows and Linux as a standard 4-way Hat switch? Or I guess what I am asking is does this Game board CY-822A have a 4-way Hat switch function? I use the 4-way Hat switch for Left Strafe, Right Strafe, Jump and Crouch in all First Person Shooters. And would there be any benefits to converting this very old Game Port based USB 1.1 Joystick to a more modern USB 2.0 connection? I'm wondering if latency is truly reduced but I somehow doubt it. Thanks for the video.

mode button is necessary for games like tekken 7 because the game uses digital input otherwise the stick wont work

I have a Happ joystick which has 4 switches the wires connect to. I understand Sanwa joysticks just have a single connector that plugs into the board. How would I plug my Happ Joystick in? Do I plug it in where it says, "Up, Down, Left, Right?" Thank you and great video!

So can I used the left right up down for any button ? I know it’s a silly question but I’m planning out a lot of stuff using two of these and would like to know for sure. Thank you 🙏

Any idea where i should look to learn how to wire and set 3 different switches that activate each other in sequence ? It's for American Truck Simulator, i'm trying to set an ignition key that activates a switch that activates the starter button for the ignition.

This stick has been working fairly decently for me for my PC, but the only thing I don't like is the analog/digital which forces me to map it to a button. My stick only has 6y buttons (classic SF layout, with a select for coin, and a start for 1P) but I have to turn it to digital mode for it to work with my PC. Is there a way to default it to digital so I can disconnect the wire and plug it into one of the button inputs?

Could I run additional buttons off the up, down, left right headers to use this to build a 16 button button box for simracing? Thanks for the guide.

Supposedly you can combine these to create a 4 player encoder, is this correct? If so, how do we connnect them all together?

_Translator:_ I'm wondering. Can I combine two buttons, the *Select* and *Clear (Turbo/Auto)* buttons, and use Select to turn off Turbo? --- It does not work. By the way, it's very stupid that you need an extra button to turn off the Turbo/Auto.

Are the connections on the right for momentary buttons or for switches that toggle on/off persistently?

Is it possible to add a multi position rotary to this board? So a button press is done to the right and a different button pressed to the left?

I have this board , I will try the switch and tonight if you like ,a raspberry pi use's 5 volts

I want a board that can use potentiometers I want a signal that gives an output between 1 and 0 I don't want a button for a joystick, i want an analog joystick Analog is important for setting throttle, or run speed

Olaf Wagner is there a software that will determine whether the input is active or inactive and can set when the switch is on to one button on the keyboard and when it is off its set to another

If I cut the wire on the usb 5v pin the board will be considered as disconnected right?

hi great Video man!! is there any posibility to assign an axis (not just 0 or 1 input) like for flying helicopters?

What type of buttons do the fire mode buttons use? Is it momentary or latching?

Hello! Great presentation! You use this for mach3? I am trying to program it but no success. Program didnt recognize any key. How can solve problem? Thank you!

Great video. Any idea what IC this board is using? Thanks

So i can put a 0 to 1 input in this board and it will read like that. not just 0 or 1? Trying to build a panel with a analog joystick. and looking for a good board to try it out on.

Any idea about the resolution of the analog joystick? 8 bit / 10 bit / 12 bit ?

Saw video great work dont know if you managed find missing resistors r3-r8 think they was variable resistors throttle and brake,hope this helps

is there a way to permanently switch to digital or analog once its powered on?>

d3 probably turbo indicator light.

Maybe those traces are for IF you have sufficient current coming from the USB line, so that you could effectively daisy chain from the +5V line, into another board of same or similar design? Many games can make use of multiple controller configurations, flight simulators come to my mind, where there maybe multiple directional joysticks and potentially a foot pedal or two or three possibly? Also, it is not altogether uncommon to find joystick buttons that have their own LEDs installed within a translucent housing. I have this same exact board, but I’ve spotted one difference and it is only on its screen print and not any different in layout or design. Where your board says +5v, +5v and OFF, mine says d3, d1, and d2. This is beneath the other portion where it’s printed, D1, D2, and D3 above those two LEDs, so I don’t think that it’s addressing those LEDs at all, but probably rather an indication of a ‘digital’ switch to possibly go in that position. Maybe it was planned that a button could serve as a ‘shift’ key, where combinations of shift with other buttons would potentially switch the joystick to serve temporarily as a ‘player two’, since some games could freeze while waiting for activity from a ‘player two’? Also I forget that this is mostly intended for people who wish to build a sort of arcade cabinet, and so the coin receivers and their associated operations could possibly be intended to use these switches. The other resistors are maybe for attempting to resolve any ‘bouncing’ effects resultant from long button presses? I seem to remember that circuits like this often need components to add a ‘de-bouncing’ effect. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS, I’ve found this helpful in understanding this board, and it’s always nice to have an insightful look at our electronic gear!

Thanks for the video, does it support potentiometers by any chance (even one or two for X and Y)? Cheers

Sir please do more reviews and also in put lags. Thanks alot

Any idea what the plug type is for the buttons? I'd like to create my own These are mode switches for the functions, so you only need a momentary switch on them, they will cleat if you hit the button again. No constant latching switch is required for these.

Anyone know exactly what Linux kernel driver module this uses please? Is it something relatively recent?

Una pregunta es compatible con Android la placa Zero delay ?

Is there one of these that has more than 12 button terminals?? I wanna make a double joystick arcade set up and cant seem to find a way to do so with only 12 buttons.

Is it possible to connect this with a hc-05 (bluetooth board)?

what about start, select and menu button

Tnx bru 👍

Thanks!

i'm trying to figure out what cables to buy, i bought 1.25mm JST plug cables but the connector is too small.

i have a question the buttons are they recognized as keyboard buttons or as totally new inputs what im asking is can u do macros whit the spare buttons

Can these be configured for keyboard inputs (awsd etc) rather than xinput? Thanks

May I know how to share the same joystick and buttons with JAMMA?

how to reset which buttons press ?

those this work on pc like i have tekken 7 on the pc and i want to build a cheap stick does this PCB work for this game?

Where is the start button located on this

Hello, can i wire up extra buttons on the Mode, Turbo, Clear and Auto plugs/pins?

Hey Olaf, I'm trying to connect a coin acceptor to this usb encoder. I can't figure it out. Could you help me?

anyone know what IC this uses?

the default analog/digital mode is needed for gale such as Tekken 7 it wont recognize the default mode

bernie sanders is teaching us about arcade stick

is it possible to connect a LED start button to the 5v

im running 4 of these on raspberry picade in a turtles cab my oldest son was asking if it will work on a ps4 have you ever tried it on ps4

Does it work on ps4

Does anyone know how to ad vibrate using this arcade encoder ??

Is there any button connection for l3/r3..?

Is that possible to connect a potentiometer on this board?

Hello ! Does this board work on windows 10 ?

Would this work on a android box?

Funziona con xb360/ps3?

can i use this board for PS4??

I-pac2 is much better. High quality and only one board needed for both Joysticks and buttons.

i set up a old joystick for MAME games with this PCB, so i can set it up easy i used html5gamepad.com/

Does it work in ps4
