Paddle mod failed?

[banditpaw1]

I had a controller with the joustik broken of so i (tried/failed) to add a paddle. It was a 5k ohm pot(well 4.89 to be exact).did i pin it out wrong?can i get a pinout?

It doesn't work like that at all. The paddle uses completely different pins than the joystick. It's impossible to just add a pot to a joystick and have it work.

Here's where the pins end up on a chopped down mobo:

I have no idea, nor do I have a paddle controller to follow traces. You ought to be able to start at those points on the 2600 board, and follow them to the controller port, though.

And the part you're looking for: what to connect to which pins
