I want to build my own joystick/throttle combo for use in video games like Star Citizen and War Thunder.
I have never used Arduino before but I have taken a class or two in circuits using breadboards and such a few years back in college.
Is there some way to download a "plug & play" template that includes approximately 4 analog axis, 10 buttons and a hat switch? And I could perhaps add/remove blocks of code for buttons/axis as needed?
I don't want to come off as lazy but learning the whole Arduino coding language to build my own from scratch seems like a very daunting task.
I know that I will need to use an Arduino Micro for easy recognition as a controller by the PC. But I haven't been able to find much for step by step tutorials or templates on how to code something like this.
Am I hoping for too much here or can one of your point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
