EXTERNAL SWITCH INPUTS
A single external switch connected to the TetraStick Uno’s
Input Jack
becomes a “control switch” that
performs the same functions as pushing and/or holding the Uno’s joystick inward while in all modes of
operation.
Adding the
TetraStick Expansion Module
to the TetraStick Uno’s Input Jack provides 8 external switch
input jacks numbered 1 through 8. The input jack numbers are engraved on the top of the module’s housing
above each input jack.
A switch connected to input jack 1 of the TetraStck Expansion Module becomes the “control switch”, and
performs the same functions as pushing or holding the joystick inward while in all modes of operation.
Switches connected to input jacks 2 through 8 perform standard joystick button functions 9 through 15
respectively, and are functional while the Uno is in XY, RXY, POV and Button Modes. Buttons 8 through 15
must be physically held by the user to perform a button hold, unlike the timed button holds available using
the joystick when the Uno is in Button Mode.
External switches perform mode selections and settings while in Program Mode 1:
A switch connected to input jack 2 can be used to select XY Mode.
A switch connected to input jack 3 can be used to select RXY Mode.
A switch connected to input jack 4 can be used to select POV Mode.
A switch connected to input jack 5 can be used to toggle the inward Push Sensitivity setting.
External switches perform mode selections and settings while in Program Mode 2:
A switch connected to input jack 2 can be used to enter the Joystick Sensitivity settings.
A switch connected to input jack 3 can be used to enter the Hold Delay Time settings.
A switch connected to input jack 4 can be used to toggle the 4- or 8-way Button Modes.
A switch connected to input jack 5 can be used to toggle the Audio Chirp setting.
The joystick is still able to perform these functions while the Expansion Module is connected.
Switches connected to inputs 6, 7 and 8 do nothing while in either Program Mode.

MEMORY
Changes to the Joystick Sensitivity, Hold Delay Time, 4-way/8-way Mode and Audio Chirp settings are
stored in the Uno’s internal memory. These settings are restored to their previous states when the Uno is
powered up.
The Uno always powers up in XY Mode.
