<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Alan, I like the idea of a larger joystick in most situations. In my case I'm trying to combine separate thumb-sticks (for vertical/horizontal movement) with a 7-inch graphical display all of which is hand held so I can control the sub whether sitting in the CT or prone looking out the front.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">The programmable controllers offer a lot of configuration options and performance feedback, but are expensive. I paid $265(US) six years ago but today the new versions are $500(US). I think my replacements are going to be traditional Minn Kota controllers with a Raspberry PI interface to provide tractor steering.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Jon</div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Personal_Submersibles mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a></span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
