[[File:RedJoystick.jpg|200px|Image: 200 pixels]]
There are two types of joystick available for our social sciences researchers:
[[File:logitech_joystick.jpg|200px|Image: 200 pixels]]
*[[#Red Joystick|TSG Red Joystick]], a custom built, unimaginatively named, single-axis joystick with a bright red base.
*[[#Logitech Attack 3|Logitech Attack 3]], a commercial multi-axis joystick controller.
== Red Joystick ==
=== Installation ===
The Red Joystick is a [[wikipedia:plug and play|plug and play]] USB device.
== Pyhon Script ==
=== Configuration ===
<nowiki> #!/usr/bin/env python
When connected to a PC via USB, the Red Joystick will emulate a serial port. The following COM port settings should be used:
