##BOM
1 x PS2/3 analogue joystick, available from Sparkfun or Cool Components
6 x 10k Potentiometers
- 9mm vertical pots
- Linear taper, any value from 5k to 50k should be fine
- D Shaft (or whatever is suitable for your knobs)
- Try: Bourns PTV09A-4020F-B103 or Alps RK09K1130C79
- Or Alpha 9mm from Thonk
- NB: If you can't find the Joystick, there is a space for a 7th pot underneath
3 x 12mm square tactile switches
- Multicomp MCDTS2-4R is the right switch, but it seems to be a fairly standard layout
- The board also has space for standard little 6mm tactile switches
- You can get keycaps for the Omron 12mm switches:Black: KTSC-21K, White: KTSC-21I, Yellow: KTSC-21Y, Red: KTSC-21R. (
4 x 1k Resistors for LEDs (use higher values - 5k to 10k if you have ultrabright LEDs)
4 x 3mm LEDs
4 x 11mm M3 Hex Standoffs to connect the control board to the main Axoloti Core PCB
NB: Ignore these headers: The way the board has come out, it's impossible to solder them in, and the board is perfectly strong without them. 2 x 2 pin Female Header 571-215297-2 to mount on the back of the Control board to provide support by connecting to pins on the X3 and X4 headers. There is no electrical connection here.
1 x 40 pin Female Header to mount on the Axoloti core
1 x 40 pin Male Header to mount on the Control board
