A simple joystick extension for the Spectrum :) — ZXNet «hardware.zx»

Hello, acidrain aci> you can also make a backpack with vibration (for example, from mobile phones - they aci> small =) and in general you can feel all the shots in the back and groin aci> . Toko will be more difficult to control cool - I’ll have to make a jelly like this for myself, thanks for the idea

Hello Surfin' Bird Sur> Friends! The following thought came to me: Sur> There is a dead joystick (in the sense of a gamepad) from PSone. Naturally Sur> you need to connect it to the Spectrum! Sur> What to do with burnt electronics is clear - tear it off and solder it Sur> wiring directly to the contacts. Sur> But where to add vibration motors? Sur> No one will specifically support them in games - the stump is clear, but Sur> just leaving them idle is not businesslike. Sur> And this is what I thought of - what if you control them... with the help Sur> beeper? Sur> That is. - on the screen, for example, there is an explosion (shot, steps, etc.) Sur> the beeper..uh...beeps, and the motor spins in time with it! Sur> The effect should be intoxicating!!! Sur> Hence the question - how can this be implemented, and is it possible “on the knee” Sur> i.e. without soldering a complex device and connecting directly to the tape recorder Sur> port? Sur> The motors seem to be powered by 9V. You can also make a backpack with vibration (for example, from mobile phones - they are small =) andIn general, you can feel all the shots both in the back and in the groin ;). It will be more difficult with control :)

Hello Surfin' Bird Sur> The difficulty is that I used the phrase “transistor switch” first Sur> since I hear... Power supply to the emitter ("+"), load to the collector, control signal to the base. You apply a certain voltage to the base - the transistor opens, the load turns on. If you remove the signal, the load is switched off. What to do with the rest I hope you can figure out the wires. :D

Hello,geners gen> do it using a transistor switch - it's not that complicated The difficulty is that I am using the phrase "transistor switch" for the first time I hear... "I would like a diagram... Al a drawing...":) Is it really not interesting to any of the iron workers????

Hello new art He eats so much, it seems. Joystick motor. That is, as far as I understand, Electrician suggests modulating the rotation of the motor beeper signal.

From Surfin' Bird To All 15 January 2006

Hello, Electrician So what will work? On one leg +9v, the second leg - to the motor, and on the third (which is the base) - wiring from the beeper? So what? And what will work?

Hello, lvd ok, maybe I don’t think so - but who even thinks while eating? :) and then stop picking on me, this is not what this topic was created for, Tell me something useful about the device yourself

Hello, lvd I already wrote that I drew the diagram completely without looking, and that’s where the mistakes are :) and then who cares, I think people still won’t decide to collect something

Hello,geners gen> I already wrote that I drew the diagram without even looking, and that’s where the mistakes are :) gen> Without thinking, did you want to say? I wonder why you even drew it then, especially if you thought that > and then what difference does it make, I think people still can’t decide on something > collect ???? =)
