Custom-circuit controllers
Rule R78 states: "All equipment connected to the Joystick Ports of the IFI Operator Interface must be powered solely through the power available through the port." and "Portable computing devices may not be connected to Joystick input ports on the Operator Interface."
Regarding the definition of "portable computing device", would a custom circuit that used a microcontroller to convert signals from a newer, digital joystick to the analog format needed by the Operator Interface be considered legal as long as it was powered by the joystick port?
