I won't be doing this and the reason is that when I first designed my boat, I had lots of buttons on my joystick. I could execute MBT blow and flood, VBT blow and flood, correct trim in boat as well as several other functions. What I found from using it was it was hard to use the buttons. I would have to take my eyes off where I was going and look down to the joystick to use the buttons which were kind of small. The joystick was also located between my legs lake like in an old style airplane. This made it hard to get in and out of the seat. I ended up ripping out this joystick and replacing it with a 3-Axis joystick that has no buttons that is mounted along the hull on the starboard side. My boat is small and this helps getting in and out of the boat. Buttons are now on panel on the starboard side of the boat. This has worked better for me. I think the joystick orientation and function are more important to 'flyers" as apposed to 'K-boats" because of the sensitivity of joystick movement given the widely different GC-GB spreads between the two design philosophies. For example in my boat, slight movements to the starboard or port sides with the joystick, can cause the boat to roll +/- 30 degrees. This is Ok if you want to roll but if you are just trying to punch a button on the joystick, it's kind of unsettling.</div><div><br></div><div>Cliff</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Aug 5, 2018 at 3:06 PM, Alan via Personal_Submersibles <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>David, Cliff,</div><div id="m_6107146080964146204m_-8565717429329840862AppleMailSignature">just had the thought that if you are using a flight controller style</div><div id="m_6107146080964146204m_-8565717429329840862AppleMailSignature">joystick you could wire up your push to talk button on your coms</div><div id="m_6107146080964146204m_-8565717429329840862AppleMailSignature">to that.
