    I have a set of X/Y mirrors from an intelligent light. I could glue a stick on the back of them. Then you wouldnt need any pots or batteries.

    All women are a pain in the neck, but having worked with European girls, they seem to have more traditional values about family. American girls just evaluate what kind of ATM I will be for them. They don't take care of themselves and think Tshirts and jeans is dressing up. We have a 60 per cent divorce rate in this country from this use you and loose you attitude.


    I had a machine malfunction at work two years ago and despite having safety gear on, I got a bad cut on a finger. 5 women in the room 4 American, 1 French. American girls retreat in panic, they stand in corner of the room, quietly talking and staring at me bleeding profusely. French chick orders a American to gets on the phone, to get safety and Emts on the way, has to tell her TWICE. I reach for the first aid kit, and start patching myself up, French girl grabs me by the shoulder, slams me into a chair, and starts working on my finger. Drives me to the hospital and then waits in the waiting room while the doc works on me, calls her boyfriend and drops a dinner date to make sure I make it back to my car.

    That made a impression.

    The French , Spanish, and Indian girls valued what I'd call family values.
    Chinese, American and Thai, it was what are you gonna spend on me, today ?

    Unfortunately most joysticks only use a small range in the middle of the pots, so you need to use some offset and scale function, which is not included in the designs so far. I made a joystick-based ILDA controller for testing the galvo positions during the projector design, I think this is what you are talking about, I will draw the schematic and post it soon.

    Best regards,
