Connecting Devices and Hosts to the USB A port
The USB A port on the back of the Quadstick can be used in two different ways:
•
As a Host to 3
rd
•
As an alternative Device port, using a USB A-to-A cable, for consoles and PCs.
Host mode
The Host mode is active by default and currently supports the following devices:
•
Dual Shock 4, for authentication messages for the PlayStation Four console.
•
UltraStik 360, an arcade style joystick which can be incorporated into the array of inputs
available to configure the Quadstick.
•
Mayflash F300 Fightstick. Another arcade style joystick with eight large buttons.
Dual Shock 4
When used for authentication with a PS4, the DS4 is simply plugged into the USB A port and left
off. Turn on the console from the front panel. The DS4 will appear to be off but it is supplying
the Quadstick with a stream of data for authentication. The joysticks and buttons data are
currently not available for use in a configuration spreadsheet.
UltraStik 360
The UltraStik is an Analog stick with optional button input jacks. It is
automatically recognized when connected to the USB A port.
joystick data show up in the same inputs as when it is used through the
Quadstick Manager Program. For example:
The button inputs names are usb_1_button_1 through usb_1_button_15.
