I have an industrial joystick that I need to interface with a simulator which is programmed to work with gaming joysticks. The gaming joystick board is made to read pots, but the industrial joystick uses halls.
The joystick brand is elobau, a german company. It has 3 analog thumb levers and one analog joystick axis. The hall sensors look like pots. They have 4 wires each. When I disconnect them and supply 5v the other two wires put out a steady 4 and 2 volts. I've connected them to my oscilloscope and they don't show any variation with movement that I can see. I can't find data sheets for the rotary halls. The base one is labled:
elobau
J4C6AA20GA0054C
V1.17/SN 0x01 B1
made in germany
28/11
face thumb lever:
175DT1A1SW13
back thumb lever:
175DT0B0SW05 the B could be an 8
If anyone can give me any tips on reading these I would appreciate it. I'm going to see if it could be a differential signal I need to amplify, but if that doesn't work I'm out of ideas for the moment.
