BL series Miniature paddle joystick controllers Overview MECHANISM The brand new mechanism design has been developed for strength and long life while retaining a superb feel. SPRING TO CENTER The lever springs back to the center position when released. CONNECTIONS The paddle is ﬁtted, as standard, with an industry standard 2.54mm pitch 8 way connector. CONNECTIONS Paddles are supplied with an eight way connector as standard.

BL series Miniature paddle joystick controllers Overview OUTPUT OPTIONS The BL series paddle joystick is conﬁgured as two “electrical” controls in one mechanical package. The Paddle operates from 5V and provides two proportional outputs. The second output is accurate to the ﬁrst within ±3% of the power supply. The power supply for the secondary output is also completely independent. Customers may choose their preference of voltage outputs (gains).
