The Amstrad [[Analog Joysticks|Analogue Joystick ]] AJ-5 is a 2-axis, 2 button, analogue joystick.
The axes are up X and down, Y and the 2 buttons are digital. The joystick is self centering, e.g. the stick will return to centre position if released.
The joystick has a [[Connector:Analogue joystick (CPC Plus only)|15-pin male D-type connector ]] and is suitable for connecting to the old PC gameports and to the 464+ and 6128+ analogue joystick connector. When used with Windows, in the "Game Controllers" control panel you should pick "2-axis, 2-button joystick" for the type.
It is recognised and can be used under Windows XP.

== Use with the Amstrad Plus ==
When used with the Amstrad plus, the button labelled "I" activates joystick fire 2 (giving 'Z' in BASIC), and the button labelled "II" activates joystick fire 1 (giving 'X' in BASIC), therefore the fire buttons are mapped to the digital joystick 0 fire buttons.
When the sliders are in the middle, the values returned from both axes change rapidly between &1c and &1b, but this changes depending on the exact position of the slider (the fact remains the values change rapidly). The analogue joystick reports X values in &6808 only and Y values in &6809 only.
The range of values reflects the range of motion, with moving half way to the left or up giving a reading of &b. Minimum and maximum values are &00 and &3F. == Support ==* This joystick is supported by [[Category:Input deviceFutureOS]] [[Category:PeripheralsAmstrad Products]][[Category:CPC Plus]][[Category:StubFutureOS]][[Category:Amstrad ProductsInput Device]][[Category:Peripherals]][[Category:Stub]]
