Has anyone used one of these?
Come on over to /r/hotasDIY. Best thing to do would be to get an STM32 Bluepill, get a 2 axis joystick from Adafruit (MPN: 245), get a breadboard (MPN: 4539), and some jumper wires (MPN: 1956). Then you can flash the Bluepill with Freejoy firmware and set it up with their configurator, no coding required.

FreeJoy Configuration Question
See the bottom most reply: https://github.com/FreeJoy-Team/FreeJoy/issues/52
- What do we do with the ancient joystick?
-
Leo Bodnar alternatives
FreeJoy is a nice firmware for a game controller, but the used "Blue Phil" (STM32F103C8 ) boards very poor - build quality, components.
-
Could someone please explain this to me.
Similar - FreeJoy, but for STM32F103C8 - 'Blue Phil" cards, even more cheap.
- I saw lot of people showing their simpit. so heres mine
- poor CK37 Panel based on FreeJoy
-
What is this, and why are you running? (II, 8 months revision)
7: Software: Will use Freejoy in a custom made "blue pill" that sits in the handle. More on it later.
- controlling computer with ev3?

Achievement unlocked. When VKBsim praises your DiY work
No, the joystick base has a gimbal with hall sensors (no wear) and it's fully analog XY sensing. It also has a hall analog twist axis built in the upper handle. It runs FreeJoy firmware on a custom shaped bluepill (STM32F103C8T6). It gets fully identified as a usb joystick and works as normal. It can accept about 25 direct buttons and 8 analog axis, or up to 256 buttons using an array with diodes (that's for simpits, I suppose).

No Second hat switch with arduno Joystick
I'm at a good point with the code and the hardware, but I ran into this issue where the library says that you can define up to 2 hat switches, and I need to use both and here's the problem.

Adding a second input to my Joystick
I have a project where I want to turn a hall sensor Apem joystick into a PTZ-controller in OBS to control cameras in a live stream. I am using this library: https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary
-
Why is it so hard to find a tutorial?
I would use a joystick-library like https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary
- Is ESP32 experience valuable in industry?
- Thrustmaster TFRP Pedals --- forgot seller did not include the RJ12 to USB Adapter. Will other RJ12 to USB adapters work? They charge a freaking 40€ for the original one with a switch in it.

Very simple throttle with Arduino Pro Micro and a potentiometer
I used the joystick library for arduino https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary. Very easy to code, especially following this video. You can also map other types, such as x, y, z axis, rudder, accelerator, plus buttons. I'm planning to add a TO/GA button and AP/ATHR disengage buttons.
- I fail to adapt MHeironimus ArduinoJoystickLibrary for the ESP32-S2. Can somebody help me with that?
-
I'm trying to wire up a throttle with a ton of buttons in the hand grip and minimal wiring space in the passage between the handle and main body. Best way to do it?
Yep, my bad. I got confused with the numbers. Also, did some googling and from what I can see here even though you can map more than 32 buttons the default Windows joystick tester won't display them.
- How do I connect my T.Flight rudder pedals to my computer?

How do I "read" a library?
This example might help you get you started. You can't directly "assign" a pin to an axis with this library. However, you can approach it a couple different ways.
