mswitch, a mouse/joystick switch scheme
« on: June 28, 2004, 02:22:48 PM »
I want to view a .pic file.
It's a file from Aminet, called mswitch (an electric scheme to build a mouse/joystick switcher)
can't find a program on Aminet, or anywhere, to view this file. Maybe there's an jpeg of this scheme or so, or there's somewhere a (freeware) program to view this file. Anyhow, I can't find it.

thanks in advance

YEEEEEEHAAAAAAWW!
my joystick/mouse switch works
I directly soldered it correct!
that is..
only with an original Atari joystick it works for 100% properly
and probably it supports only a 1button joystick
with other joysticks, I have to klick the left mouse button continuously, while these joysticks don't have an autofire function as far as I know.
Any thoughts on this?

ah well, the joystick I use now works fine, and I got a lot of time used with soldering the whole stuff. It's MY pride, I made it work :lol:

I could also solder two leds on it, but they mentioned in the manual that you might need an extra external power supply :idea:


2 buttons SHOULD work though, the right mouse button works, (it doesn't matter on wich of the two connectors you put on the joystick or mouse)

anyhoo, thanks for advice :-)
