Introduction

Congratulations for purchasing the

TRS

-80®Color Computer

Deluxe

Joystick -the Joystick that is specifically designed

to increase your screen positioning power while playi

ng

games and creating Color Computer graphics. Whether you

are having a quiet, but back-stabbing match of Roman

Checkers (26-3071 ), or defending your planet from a

nerve-shattering alien blitz with Galactic Attack (26-3066),

you

'

ll

find this Joystick to be a definite enhancement to your

TRS-80 Color Computer system.

The TRS-80 Color Computer Deluxe Joystick features:

• Easy installation -just connect the 5-Pin connector to

either JOYSTK Connector at the rear of the Color

Computer.

If

you have two Deluxe Joysticks, connect both

of them to the JOYSTK Connectors.

• Separate X and Y axis controls which give

you

precise

screen positioning.

• Selectable "Free-floating" or "Spring Center Return"

Control Stick adjustments which let you tailor the stick

action to the software you are using.

• Convenient "Fire" button lets you execute game or

program functions quickly and efficiently.

1I Description of the Color Computer

Deluxe Joystick

Along with its attractive "high tech" appearance, this Joystick

offers features not common to most Joysticks.

The following diagram shows the components of this amazing

product.

Joystick with Directional

Scheme.

Control Stick. Move this lever in the direction of your

choice. (See Figure 1.)

@ Fire Button. Press this button to fire missiles or initiate a

program function.

@ X-Axis Adjustment Switch. Move this switch to the left

or right to adjust your horizontal position as close as

possible to the screen's center.

to adjust your vertical position as close as possible to the

screen's center.

Control Stick Operating Modes

The

Control Stick has two modes of operation - "Spring

Center Return" and "Free-Floating."

When

you first connect your Deluxe Joystick,

it

will be

in

Spring Center Return mode -meaning that the Control Stick

will automatically return to center position when you release

the lever. Also, when you release the leve

r,

the screen

position will be at (or near) dead center.

You can make the Control Stick "Free-Floating" for the

X,

Y,

or both Axes. Free-Floating means that the Control Stick will

remain

in

i

ts

present position when you release the lever.

X-Axis Mode Switch. To change

the

X-Axis mode from

Spring Center Return to Free-Floating, hold the Control

Stick

at

any of the corners. Then, set the switch

to

FREE.

Caution:

Do

not move the switches

to

the FREE position

with the stick

in

its erect position. Doing so will virtually

freeze the lever motion

in

the straight-up position.

® Y-Axis Mode Switch. To change

the

Y-Axis mode from

Spring Center Return to Free-Floating, hold the Control

Stick

at

any extreme corner. Then, set the switch to

FREE.

@ Changing both Axes. To change both Axes from Spring

Center Return to Free-Floating, hold the Control Stick

at

a corner position. Then make sure that both mode

switches are set to FREE.

To re-engage either or both Axes

to

Spring Center

position, move the mode switch(es) away from the FREE

position.
