Handpeice button naming


I replaced the shift register inside the handpeice and added some wire to test everything. The stick works just as expected. After talking with a good friend Matt, i found that the directional section is called the point of view. And of course the trigger (which i knew before hand).

The other three buttons still have no names as far as i can tell. I tried to find a user manual for the Gravis Blackhawk(which is what i believe the originally joystick to be) I had no luck finding a manual. So untill someone corrects my convention i will assume the below.

Up = Bit4

Down = Bit3

Left = Bit0

Right = Bit7

Trigger = Bit5

Select = Bit1

Start = Bit2

Manual = Bit6

Ok, see i named three of the buttons. They are Select,Start,Manual. These will be spot welder specific buttons. The exact use will be covered later. 

Now that have an input device that works as i expect i can begin to work on the menu subsystem and the spot welder base program.
