- Seems like 1/4 or 1/2 w should be fine. Since its only a momentary
- movement, it wouldn't be conducting current for any length of time - though
- I guess for safety sake, make it 1/2 watts resistors.
- The values themselves I don't know - I suggest someone open
- their analog joysick and measure the resistance in each direction.. since
- there's nothing but directional pots in there, its fairly simple to get
- the resistance and then to complete a design for digital -> analog conversion.
