Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] OSS Pressure hull basic layout.

If you figure out how to economically interface one of those controllers
to a microcontroller, then you have my full attention. The real problem
with them is that they all use proprietary connectors...Except the USB
flavors, and the USB interface ICs usually take a lot of baby-sitting...
But I'm sure listening...An older style joystick would be easier in that
you can use a basic ADC to get the position.
