    Quadstick’s flash memory by the Quadstick Manager Program or manually using a PC's file manager. The Quadstick can contain many configuration files and the user can control which one is currently active by use of a long hard sip on the side tube.

  • Page 11: The Quadstick Manager Program

    The Quadstick Manager Program (QMP) is a Windows desktop application that is used for setting up and modifying the preference settings that control the Quadstick and for connecting the Quadstick to other inputs devices, such as voice commands and external devices. It is available for download from the Quadstick.com website.

  • Page 18: Joystick

    Joystick The joystick measures the deflection from the home, or center position and produces both continuous analog values and discrete position signals, depending upon the output to which it is connected. When used for the Mouse or one of the Game Pad joysticks, the position is reported as continuously variable with the movement of the joystick.
  • Page 19 (1). If you prefer the action of the original square dead zone instead, the preference can be set to 0 in the misc tab in the QuadStick Manager Program by turning off the Enable Circular Dead Zone check box.

  • Page 20: Illustration 4: Joystick Discrete Zones

    When used with a discrete output, like the D- Pad buttons, the joystick’s position is divided up into a series of zones, such as North, South, East and West, which triggers a signal when the joystick is moved into a zone.

  • Page 38 Mouse_speed controls how fast the mouse moves based on the scaled position from the joystick calculations. When adjusting the joystick deflections and mouse speed, first adjust the joystick in a game controller mode, then adjust the mouse speed second. The mouse_response_curve setting can make the mouse less sensitive near the center position and move much faster when the joystick is moved farther away from the center.
  • Page 39 The Preferences found on mode sheets are only in effect when that mode is active. This allows an individual mode to have a specific joystick sensitivity setting or control the center dead zone shape, to fine tune the control of the Quadstick.

  • Page 40: Usb: Emulated Devices

    Flash Drive When in emulation modes 0, 2 & 4, the Quadstick also appears on the USB bus as a small removable storage device, a Flash drive. This drive is used to hold the customized configuration files the user may wish to use for a particular game or for updating the internal software (firmware) that runs the Quadstick.
  • Page 41 The preference variable that controls the emulation mode for a specific game configuration spreadsheet is on a Preferences sheet formatted like this: The number to the right of “enable_DS3_emulation” controls which emulation mode the Quadstick uses while that game configuration is active.

    When powering up a Nintendo Switch, the A button must be pressed within 45 seconds or the Switch will go back to sleep. Since the Quadstick will not be in the NS mode with it starts up, the user will need to quickly select the correct game file that has the protocol emulation set to 5 and then activate the input that controls the A button.

  • Page 57: Connecting To Consoles And Pcs

    Connecting to Consoles and PCs The Quadstick can be used with the PS3, PS4, XBox One, XBox 360, Wii, Wii U, Switch, PC & Mac. A USB protocol converter is required or recommended for some game consoles. The Quadstick can connect directly to the PS3, PS4, PC/Mac and Nintendo Switch.

  • Page 58: Cronusmax

    Since the release of fimware build 1799 and later, the CronusMax no longer needed to achieve the best connection to the PS4. It still may useful for special situations, like when combining the Quadstick with other 3 party devices. When using the CronusMax Plus, the CronusMax “Full Crossover” method is recommended.

  • Page 59: Cronusmax - Full Crossover

    • Turn on PS4 from the front panel, not the DS4. The Quadstick must not change the USB emulation mode after power up when used in Full Crossover. To make use of Error: Reference source not found (see page Error: Reference source not found), it must enabled using the QMP or in the prefs.csv file.

    Mouse and/or Keyboard, plus it can emulate a generic Gamepad, or a Joystick, or it can be used as a serial connection for relaying voice commands. The Quadstick Manager Program can also use the serial connection over Bluetooth to copy and manage configuration files in the flash drive and relay UltraStik 360 data.

  • Page 72: Serial Communication

    When changing the Device mode from one type of device to another, like from mouse to combo, it may be necessary to first un-pair the Quadstick from its host, then re-pair it, before the new device type will be functional.

  • Page 73: Data Channel Assignment

    When used as a Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, or combo, the Quadstick can be powered by a battery pack, like the Anker Astro E1 5200mAh or similar instead of receiving power from a host. Data Channel assignment: The data destined for the mouse, keyboard or game controller outputs is sent to the USB port by default.

  • Page 74: Remote Bluetooth Adapter

    The Remote Bluetooth Adapter (RBA) is a special stripped down version of the Quadstick circuit board that provides a wireless relay for data from a regular Quadstick to a CronusMax when a USB cable from the Quadstick to the game console is unwanted. The RBA receives its power from the CronusMax and the main Quadstick can be powered by a USB battery or other USB power source.

  • Page 80: Firmware Updates

    Firmware updates are copied into the flash drive to reprogram the Quadstick. When new firmware is loaded into the flash drive, the Quadstick will reboot after a few seconds then copy the new firmware into the CPU’s internal memory. This process re-formats the flash drive so any configuration files will be erased and must be rewritten to the flash drive from a backup copy or a fresh download from a configuration spreadsheet.
  • Page 81 4. Once the Quadstick has rebooted, it will be empty and running a simple default profile with a mouse in mode 5, USB emulation mode 0. 5. Copy all of your backed up CSV files into the Quadstick’s flash and it will reload the prefs.csv and default.csv.

  • Page 82: Recognition Mode

    The QuadStick can recognize a sequence of movements of the joystick (or any sequence of inputs) to trigger an output instead of just a simple single input. This gives the QuadStick the ability to, in-effect, recognize the shapes as letters. A sequence of up to eight input triggers, such as moving the joystick through its discrete zones (as shown in Figure 4), mixed with other inputs, can be strung together to trigger any output.

    The Singleton default configuration The Quadstick Singleton is a single tube version of the Quadstick. With the single tube, four combinations of hard/soft-sip/puff are used along with joystick movement pattern recognition to expand on the number of inputs available. When power is first applied, the Singleton is in the mouse pointer mode (mode 1), where the joystick movement controls the mouse location.
  • Page 86 For example: Starting from the Mouse mode, to press the Windows key, a soft-sip followed by moving the joystick diagonally down and left (Southwest-SW), then re-centering, will press the Windows key and return the Singleton to the Mouse mode.

  • Page 87: Voice Commands

    VCL stands for Voice Control Language. A VCL file is associated with a specific program by matching the name of the file with the name of the program. The QuadStick.vcl file, which was installed as part of the Vocola package, contains the voice commands for the QMP. Individual game voice files are contained in VCH files which are imported by the VCL file.
