The designer of Aztarac must have been in love with encoders.
The spinner output is quadrature as is the X and Y joystick
axis. The top of the joystick looks identical to Gorf's but
the bottom has a two axis gimbal assembly which rotates two
large (2 1/2" dia.) slotted wheels. The opto-interrupters
are on two seperate small PCB's. It's the strangest joystick
I've ever seen.
