Can I use a joystick instead of the rotary encoder? #1018

So the place I get my parts at ran out of rotary encoders but I do have a joystick so I was wondering if I could use that instead of the rotary encoder, it would also look much more stylish heh. Anyways I'm kind of new to this whole raspberry pi thing so thanks for helping me either way. |

Not without an separate microcontroller. there's no analog to digital converter on the Pi. It would be cool if minidexed supported USB joysticks tho. I have an enclosure with front planel matrix keyboard I'd like to use and it might be cleaner to have a separate micro controller do the scanning and pass they press/release messages over usb. |

Oh okay, thanks. Guess I'll wait for them to restock then. Would be cool indeed if it supported usb joystick |
