Although the Apple IIe has an\ninternal 16-pin joystick port, I found that the connector on my\njoystick was too big to fit through any of the holes on the back of\nthe IIe.  So, I created this adapter to let me plug it in externally.\n\nThis adapter could also be useful for the Apple IIc, which does not\nhave a 16-pin joystick port at all, although I have not tested it on a\nIIc.\n\n* [View schematic](doc/schematic.pdf)\n* [View PCB][41]\n\n![Joystick Adapter](doc/joystick-adapter.jpg)\n\n## Bill of Materials\n\n* [Right-angle male DE-9 connector][1]\n* [16-pin DIP socket][2]\n\nI found it necessary to remove the hex screws from the DE-9 connector,\nbecause they prevented it from mating with the connector on the Apple\nIIe.\n\n## Ordering the Board\n\nYou can order this board [directly from OSH Park][40] without needing\nto upload anything.\n\nIf you want to modify the design, the source is provided in\n[KiCad][83] format.\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under [CC-BY-SA 4.0][10].\n\nThe symbol and footprint for the DE-9 connector are from\n[the official KiCad 5 library][8] ([CC-BY-SA 4.0 with exception][9]).\n\n![Plugging in the joystick](doc/plugged-in.jpg)\n\n![Adapter with joystick](doc/with-joystick.jpg)\n\n[1]: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/assmann-wsw-components/A-DS-09-A-KG-T2S/AE10968-ND/1241804\n[2]: https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/assmann-wsw-components/A-16-LC-TT/AE9992-ND/821746\n[8]: https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-symbols/blob/master/Connector.lib\n[9]: https://forum.kicad.info/t/kicad-library-licensing/7856\n[10]: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode\n[40]: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/WuNA7JH0\n[41]: https://eyrie.io/board/068ea680987149dfb0afcb60a86e0048\n[83]: http://kicad.org/\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmignon-p%2Fa2joystickadapter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmignon-p%2Fa2joystickadapter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmignon-p%2Fa2joystickadapter/lists"}
