Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

I had a joystick and some leads meant to plug it into a USB encoder board.

I got some leads sold as "Plug to Socket Jumper Leads" and the pins on the end of these went into the other leads.

I could have connected the sockets straight to the CMM2 I/O interface, but I'm connecting them into a "Stackable Header for Raspberry Pi" instead, and the sockets in that fit onto the CMM2. I've marked the side that goes in the connector notch, as it doesn't have the proper key.

Not all connected together and tested yet, but I think it should work.



(oops, forgot to mention the CMM2 in the thread subject. Doesn't look like I can edit that)
