I'm making a Atari Flashback controller (which is an NES controller on the inside) and want to replace the four press switches for the directions with a joystick. The joystick I have has two variable resistors which are at the middle position when the joystick is in the centre. If I connect the two variable resistors to the +5, then to both a PNP and an NPN transistor each, then I could use them to replace the switches on the original NES controller circuit design. (That is, 2 PNPs and 2 NPNs, one of each per variable resistor)
If this is all good, then what transistors will I need to use?
I have a few stray ones, but will probably need to buy some, unless I can find some in old circuit boards.
I can further explain the project if necessary, or if you are just interested.
Thanks for any replies.
