home made controller

Hi Edy, firstly i must say that your software it´s  great, im very happy with free version, good job!

I´m from Brazil (so, sorry for my bad english, i don´t wanto try wrote in spanish becouse i´m very confused to translate this text) and very interested in mp3 controllers, but i have no maney as well so....

Since i have tested the last beta with joystick support i´m planning to build a controller via joystick, i have 2 cdj piooner 500 and 1 had broken in 1996 and i can´t do a reppair since that, so i decide to hack and use a joystick circuit do make a controller.

i soldered the pitch circuit to a "y" axis (+5v and GND pins) into a joy circuit and the buttons o cdj to buttons of joystick, works like a charm to me but when move pitch fader it´s send continuos signal to y axis... can you do via software a way that a y axis send a temporary data?

here are some pictures of it:

(me!)

Yes, i calibrated the jay.

But, the pitch of software only stop moving when i move the pitch fader (Y axis) to center and i would like to stop move pitch fader, (no on center fader) and the software stop moving.

I routed the joystick to midi to control virtualdj and there has a option to send temporary comand.

hope that you understand, thank´s
