Sorry , i'm very noob and have a very old joystick zykon joyrider pro 4in1 whit gameport DB15 . it's possible connect a DB15 port on arduino pro micro and know the right connections pin to to pin to use the joystick to the usb ? Thank you Hello. can you make fotos? Better open case and search where cable connects directly to pots/buttons or connect to MCU...

Thank you for your response , but can't use arduino pro micro like a universal joystick adapter ? gameport to usb ? DB 15 port have only 15 pins , we need only a universal gameport adapter whir 3 axis , 1 throttle , one hat switch and some buttons....

With a Gameport to USB adapter, you still having the limitations of the old joystick, the potentiometers wired as resistance, more "noise", few buttons, probable 4 bits of resolution... Wiring the old joystick "mechanics" in a new USB controller, you improve the resolution to 12 bits, can replace the pot' with HALL sensor, can use more buttons, axis, filters...and can end with a better joystick than these low cost that you can buy. Anyway the best Gameport>USB adapter is Rockfire, for the price dont worth building your own: http://www.amazon.com/game-Adapter-Rockfire-RM-203-gameport/dp/B004HAX7OU

I need know how to wired a DB15 gameport on arduino pro micro
Instead do this, is better you know how wire pot, buttons, HAT on Arduino matrix without use the gameport, creating a "new" joystick, so you can use all potential of the new controller. What I do in these case are remove all circuits/wires from the gameport joystick - only leaving the wires that are in the tube between the base and the grip because is difficult pass wires there. Make a new wire accord the new circuit. I guess that you joystick is this: http://s16.postimg.org/ifazkykcl/1_4_10075255.jpgWith these few buttons/HAT will be easy rewire internally. I know a guy that buy one these FUSBA USB adapter (>100$) for use with Suncom SFS throttle and Suncom F-15 joystick. For the throttle the adapter work OK, but for the josytick only 4 buttons are recognized - like the original gameport joystick- the other buttons and HAT need be programmed via keyboard emulation - like the original gameport joystick. But to do this is required a PS2 keyboard, PS2 keyboard adapters, and a computer with PS2 input... All this obsolete and unused in actual days.

Hi, great work mega_mozg_13!
I just got FLCS, can you tell me where to connect 5 wires from shift registers? I have pro micro.
Also is it possible to use use registers in link below in joystick? I couldn't find any schematics of shift registers in FLCS.
Thank you!

I have buy this adapter http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-to-DB-15-DB1...e-/310909678467 and this http://www.pccables.com/images/USB_to_Gameport_DB15_Adapter_Microsoft_Sidewinder.jpg whit no lucky , becouse my Windows 7 32 bit show only the adapter .

Quick question - if I just want to use a single encoder to I simply connect up the three pins to power, ground and a button terminal? "encoder to power and ground" no way!!!

Power and Ground wires are used for axis, plus the axis signal input of each one. Encoder are two buttons for the controller , so need be wired like the buttons, in the matrix inputs: http://simhq.com/forum/files/usergals/2014/08/full-37484-85623-pins_common.pngDon't reinventing the wheel. Mix the things and probable result in "chip barbecue", with his peculiar "agreeable" smell.

Question. I understand where to connect GND, VCC, MISO. Does SPI-SCK goes to SCLK? Where with SPI-CS? To MOSI? Can I connect button matrix and shift registers together? Thank you!

Power, +5V (or 3,5v), VCC are the same thing. In the link the encoder are used for sound volume control, is a different project than MMjoy2, with different firmware. If you are build a similar controller, follow the link orientation. MMjoy2 is for control joystick, is a computer HID device, the encoder is used for simulate button press. Don`t mix the projects.
