Hej!.
does anyone know how is the polarity of the joystick pins in the "ps3" analog joystick?
seems like it's a hall sensor and not just two potmeters.. I'm not finding much info in the net..
would love to use this to influence a crazy sound generator. greetings.
Polarity for 4 pin analog joystick (playstation/ axocontrol?)

i am pretty sure it is just two potentiometers and a momentary switch. what makes you think there is a hall sensor in it? i have used a very similar joystick in my bass synth. i would measure the resistance on those pins while moving the joystick. that should give you a pretty good idea, where you have to connect what.

for what I read, 2nd gen ps3 controllers with 4 pins are hall sensors. rather than Vcc, gnd and output, there are 2 outputs per pot (+ and -), so It would take 4 analog pins instead of just two per joystick. on tuesday I will get a proper "of the shelf" joystick with just one output per axis.. Btw the hall sensor thing is the future for those who hate the low resolution of the encoders or the wear of an analog pot.
Hi, I may have found information that can be handy.

You should move to stick types, you can find information about the 4 pin stick. I search for it because I have a dead PS3 controller, and I want to use it with my Arduino, hopefully this works for you
