8 axis usb joystick card

by Admin

I am still waiting for the Spitfire parts to arrive. During this time I am cleaning up and updating an 8 axis usb card for control inputs. I use this card a lot since it gives me flexibility to build out my cockpits the way I want them . It works great, giving me yaw, pitch, roll, rotary elevator trim, rotary rudder trim, throttle lever, mixture lever, and prop lever in one card. It also has 3 button inputs, I’m going to update it to 8-10 buttons. The card is plug-and-play using built in HID drivers, no extra driver disks to lose. Windows XP and 7 read it as a standard game controller. You can use the Windows game controller settings to see how all 8 axis and buttons are responding.

I should have the updates and new board layout finalized by next week, production dates following that. I plan on calling this board the Warbird. There is a possible follow up of a higher axis count board later called the Bomber for multi-engine simulators.
