IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
I love the design and how it fits on the back of the Oric. What worries me most is the mechanical stress on the connector... something to worry about?
Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
I don't think that should be a problem really, I've seen issues with the connections to the flat cable on the printer cable, but not the connector itself.
Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
And on the db9 connector itself?
Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
Well, that's a totally different story, like any owner of an Atari ST would tell you
Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
The connector of the Sega joypad is hard to connect, I think the HE10 connector of the printer port will have to be connected last and then disconnected first.
Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
I don't have a Microdisc.
If I could see where is the joystick code into the Blake's7 file I will verify.

if i get time in the next couple of days i will try blakes 7 on my drive and joystick adaptor.
Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
Here are answers to all questions from above:
The connection is very reliable and after hanging the Oric and the joystick are working fine!
The setup Microdisc and IJK-egoist:
Blake's 7 works with IJK-egoist interface perfectly! The joystick was detected auto-magically and .... well, it simply works!
Sorry for my slow reactions in the video but it's really difficult to shot simultaneously with phone-camera and with joystick.
One thing only - actually we have discussed it in the past - for me the up-down movement is reversed but this is individual and needs just some training.
And some news:
I'm happy to share my new software utility for testing IJK-egoist and other IJK compatible joysticks: IJK-test by [raxiss].
Attached is the TAP file. You can try it with real Oric-1 and Atmos or in Oricutron - put this lines in your Oricutron.cfg file:
This configuration makes possible to use the numeric pad as joystick.
And small update of the production status - this are the final Atmos and Oric-1 interfaces:
... soldering goes with normal speed, expect details about distribution very soon!
The result of the stress test. Don't try this at home:

Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
Now I inderstood the color of the pcb
Thanks for the .tap file for the test Iss !

Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
Thank you so much!
Glad to see it is detected and handled automatically
And, yes, I remember you always thought it was reversed... I understand that when you push the stick forward, you want the cursor to go down and it goes up instead?
Or was it the other way round?
In any case, using a joystick to control a cursor is horrible (keyboard is too, I know).

Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
The interesting thing is that using joystick in Blake's-7 is not so bad, actually is very smooth and cursor is very responsible.
About the vertical movement: current state is: push - cursor moves down, pull - cursor moves up and this makes sense from "pilot's joystick" point of view, but my expectations are the opposite No issue at all - as I said it's very personal ... and for my self I can always patch the dsk

Looks Awesome!
When will they be available to buy and if possible could i reserve a red one for the Atmos please?
Thanks

Great
I love these extensions too.
I hope i'll be able to buy and test some (for Oric-1 & Atmos) on my computers

Re: IJK-egoist new joystick interface by [raxiss]
I’d be interested in one too, once they come up for sale.
