Re: (ET) Alltrax controller question

[Jim Coate <jbc_lists_NO_REPLY coate org>]

Yes and no. Multiple folks have set things up with the original lever 
connected to the standard pot box (Curtis PB6). However, at least all 
the ones I have seen are such that the "right and up" portion of the 
motion is all that is used. A separate toggle switch is added for 
forwards/reverse. So to go backwards, one flips the switch to reverse 
and pushes the lever up and to the right, which may be counter-intuitive 
especially if have logged many hours with the original controls.

I've been playing with ideas to totally mimic the original stick design, 
both forwards AND reverse... but the never ending move and trying to 
sell the house and all has gotten in the way of finishing.
