Saitek/Logitech Yoke Pots

I just replaced my faulty pots with these from Amazon;

Potentiometers Linear D-Shaft 50K POT (Set of 3) Alpha RV24AF-10-15F-B50K

They were a little larger in size requiring me to cut the "D" shaft shorter to fit. Also I have to cut the roll Pot holder to fit. It works great using a Leo Bodnar BU0836-LC board.

BU0836 is capable of 12 bits (4096) resolution. Look in tab "RES' on test. http://www.gavca.com/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=193 Or in VKB Joy Tester: http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Programms/VKB_JoyTester.zip But this program require some math for know resolution (in bits or points): Quote http://i.imgur.com/3ittj4w.jpg - select your device - gently move the axis until you get a first consistent "step" value - and then: 65536/step value = resolution (number of values per axis) In my picture (VKB Black Mamba, set to 12-bit resolution): 65536/16 = 4096 8-bit = 256 9-bit = 512 10-bit = 1024 11-bit = 2048 12-bit = 4096 13-bit = 8192 14-bit = 16384 15-bit = 32768 16-bit = 65536 (step=1) If the step value suddenly jumps to 1, just restart the process.
