Okay folks looking for a bit of help - I am an absolute novice home tinker' and I am trying to dabble please bare with me- I am not a electronics engineer.
I have an old arcade machine from 1996 - it has the Potentiomenters (POTS) in it ( gas, brake, left/ right for steering) what I want to do is introduce a switch box - I want to keep the original arcade game say on switch box position A and on switch box position B I want the output from the POTS to go to ardiuno circut i had made that takes that signal and sends it else whre ( for clarity it sends it to a sony playstation 4 dual shock controller) so I can play modern games on through the PS4 on the arcade from 1996
Currently it works to play EITHER ps4 or to use arcade game i have to unhook it all and re-attach it what I'd like is to be able to just have a switch box that can either send the values into the arcade wire harness or switch it to send the signals to the arduino interface... Kapeash?
So questions:
1. is this doable?
2. do pot readings change if there is a switch in the circut?
3. These are three wire pots - each pot has a ground, a power, and a data wire ( for the wipe of the pot)
Is there a way I could set this up????
