Arduino USB Joystick Thrust Controller for Elite Dangerous
Analog joystick thruster control code for Aurduino Micro or Leonardo.
Purpose: Microcontroller code for secondary thumb joystick to replace pilots tendencies to control vertical and horizontal thrust with the HAT controls. Really, a HAT on a joystick is pathetic. It really is nothing more than 4 buttons. We do not need a HAT Control on a joystick. 1 HAT control on a joystick is 1 HAT control too many. We need this thumb joystick instead and in its place.
I wrote this for Elite Dangerous, but it may also work with other games like Star Citizen and so on.
