Hello!
I'm new to Arduino (doesn't even own one) and I wonder (before I buy one) if it's possible to get "axis data" (basically input data from which I can find out how much the stick is "tilted") from a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick.
I've opened it up and put away all parts except the main circuit board (which all "sensors" is connected to) and the stick sensors (the ones which "calculates" how much the stick is "tilted" etc.). I've googled for it, and as I've understood, the "sensors" (as I call them) is just simple rotary potentiometers, right?
Is it best to put away the main circuit board too and just attach the potentiometers to the analog input pins on the Arduino (UNO) board? I've read a bit about this here but I don't really know which is best, because I'm not very familiar with building electronics either (actually not at all), so I don't really know.
I might want to add more buttons etc. later on, but then I'll do that directly to the board, so I think the best way to do it is the way I mentioned above, but I'm not really sure, so any suggestions is greatly appreciated!
PS. This is an image of how I'm thinking it would look like if I just use the potentiometers:
Thanks!
