Trying to build Flight Sim controller

Projects Programming
1

Hello everyone , I'm a newbie to Arduino programming and I'm trying to build a flight Simulator controller from here 3D Printed Flight Yoke for Flight Simulator by m2rechtin - Thingiverse . I'm having trouble compiling the code provided by the creator of said controls.
Here is the code :
// Requires Arduino Joystick Library GitHub - MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary: An Arduino library that adds one or more joysticks to the list of HID devices an Arduino Leonardo or Arduino Micro can support.
#include <Joystick.h>
Joystick_ Joystick

int JoystickX;
int JoystickY;
int JoystickZ;
int Throttle;
int Rudder;
int Aux1;
int Aux2;
int currentButtonState0;
int lastButtonState0;
int currentButtonState1;
int lastButtonState1;
int currentButtonState2;
int lastButtonState2;
int currentButtonState3;
int lastButtonState3;
int currentButtonState4;
int lastButtonState4;
int currentButtonState5;
int lastButtonState5;
int currentButtonState6;
int lastButtonState6;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(2, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(3, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(4, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(5, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(6, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(7, INPUT_PULLUP);
// Initialize Joystick Library
Joystick.begin();
Joystick.setXAxisRange(0, 965);
Joystick.setYAxisRange(192, 522);
Joystick.setZAxisRange(143, 735);
Joystick.setRxAxisRange(158, 456);
Joystick.setRyAxisRange(158, 456);
Joystick.setThrottleRange(154, 448);
}

void loop() {

// Read Joystick
JoystickX = analogRead(A0);
JoystickY = analogRead(A1);
JoystickZ=analogRead(A8);
Throttle=analogRead(A2);
Aux1=analogRead(A9);
Aux2=analogRead(A3);
Serial.print(JoystickX);
Serial.print(" ");
Serial.print(JoystickY);
Serial.print(" ");
Serial.println(JoystickZ);

// Read Switches
int currentButtonState0 = !digitalRead(2); // Button 0
if (currentButtonState0 != lastButtonState0)
{
Joystick.setButton(0, currentButtonState0);
lastButtonState0 = currentButtonState0;
}

int currentButtonState1 = !digitalRead(3); // Button 1
if (currentButtonState1 != lastButtonState1)
{
Joystick.setButton(1, currentButtonState1);
lastButtonState1 = currentButtonState1;
}

int currentButtonState2 = !digitalRead(4); // Button 2
if (currentButtonState2 != lastButtonState2)
{
Joystick.setButton(2, currentButtonState2);
lastButtonState2 = currentButtonState2;
}

int currentButtonState3 = !digitalRead(5); // Button 3
if (currentButtonState3 != lastButtonState3)
{
Joystick.setButton(3, currentButtonState3);
lastButtonState3 = currentButtonState3;
}

int currentButtonState4 = !digitalRead(6); // Button 4
if (currentButtonState4 != lastButtonState4)
{
Joystick.setButton(4, currentButtonState4);
lastButtonState4 = currentButtonState4;
}

int currentButtonState5 = !digitalRead(7); // Button 5
if (currentButtonState5 != lastButtonState5)
{
Joystick.setButton(5, currentButtonState5);
lastButtonState5 = currentButtonState5;
}

// Output Controls
Joystick.setXAxis(JoystickX);
Joystick.setYAxis(JoystickY);
Joystick.setZAxis(JoystickZ);
Joystick.setThrottle(Throttle);
Joystick.setRxAxis(Aux1);
Joystick.setRyAxis(Aux2);
Joystick.sendState();

}
So the error I'm getting is :

expected initializer before 'int'

any help with this would be awesome, thanks a lot !!!

2

Please edit your post to add code tags, for both the code and the error messages.

This is often caused by a formatting error, like a missing semicolon or brace. Use the CRLT-T autoformat in the code editor, to see the indenting.

3

Right....there.
Missing semicolon and space.

4

sorry real newbie , semi colon and space where ?

5

Semicolon at the end of the line, space after the _

You've got a load of variables that have global scope, but don't need it.

6

Unbelievable .... a semicolon wow.
Thanks for your help , so awesome .!!!

7

Isn't that an issue too?
Should it be A3?

Edit: sorry, I didn't know the Micro has so many analogue inputs! :red face:

8

no worries man , i would never have figured out the semicolon thing , thanks a lot

9

I was trying to add a Left Brake and Right Brake to the above code ,I was trying to use pin A10 and A6 for the R & L Brake , any help would be Awesome .
