## Description

This handy USB interface board allows you to connect to a S 1147 joystick and up to 12 arcade buttons and appears as a simple driverless USB interface, recognised by most operating systems as an HID.

It connects to any device that supports a USB joystick and includes pre-terminated interface leads with 6.3mm spade plugs to connect your arcade buttons.

For full wiring information, there are a number of online guides available depending on the arcade project you are building.

Additionally there are 4 inputs that alter the on-board processor's output including Joystick Mode, Turbo, Auto & Clear

Turbo: continuous resending of 'button is down' info while this extra button is also held

Auto: continuous resending for all buttons pressed

Clear: change back to single button-down sends

Mode: switches between a single (red LED) and dual joysticks (green LED). Either a single 2 axis Digital or a 2 axis Digital plus a 4 axis Analog joystick. However out of the factory the analog inputs are all wired in parallel and held at mid-point with 2 x 10k resistors.

To use analog controls the central joining trace needs to be cut and the 2 x 10k removed, then a 4 pin connector fitted to the input points. Note that this controller in analog mode encodes the analog data as joystick and then the digital data as Point-of-View (HAT) mode. (Analog pots need +5 & Gnd)

J1 sets the startup mode; there is a zero ohm resistor holding J1 low for digital mode, unsolder and move to its upper position to hold J1 high and the board will startup in analog mode.
