| ERROR FIXED | A set of paddles can be connected to the 2600 for games like pong etc it is a rotary pot like a volume control. 2 paddles are on every connector. each one has a single button as well, connected to 2 of the joystick direction lines. Many faqs on the 2600 are incorrect because they dont have the following pins: 5. B Potentiometer Input 7. +5V 9. A Potentiometer Input The paddles are the Atari CX30 paddle controller Atari 400, 800, 1200XL, 600XL, 800XL, 65XE, 130XE and 800XE have the same connector and can use both single button joystick and the paddles. Light pens use pin 6. James | APPROVED | ||
