When I was a kid, playing flight simulators on my Mac computer, all I wanted was a joystick controller to enhance my immersion. I eventually got one, but I never could figure out how to set it up. These days, I wouldn’t have any trouble, but that struggle taught me the importance of plug-and-play functionality from an early age.
We all want customization and control, but sometimes we just want to plug something and start without any hassle. The USB Joystick Board from Tindie Seller Provisionell offers you the ability to take your home gaming setup to the next level.
If you want to build a joystick or cockpit setup with components like switches and potentiometers, you can connect everything to this board, which offers 16 buttons and five 12-bit ADC inputs.
Some simple soldering is all it takes to make the joystick fully functional via micro USB. No drivers are required. Once you connect it to your PC and press a button, it will appear in the Windows game controller GUI.
A board like this cuts out almost all of the complex software configuration. You won’t need to download anything, edit config files, or flash new programs on Arduino with this board. Check out the video to see the board in action.
