I grabbed an el-cheapo twist joystick, a hammer and pair of pliers, and a little bit of hardware and came up with: http://www.flutterby.com/archives/comments/8207.html It's non-centering, 'cause I built it as small helicopter controls, and I have to hold it roughly centered while I power up or the el-cheapo firmware gets confused, but it was a great getting started experience. When I've got a little time, I want to take a couple of Atmel chips and some old mechanical mice and see if I can build a 10 bit per channel high quality setup, but except for the notes there about pedal construction I'll keep pretty much the same mechanical aspects (may also end up building a throttle and thumb switches into the collective). When I get there, what I've got now works fairly well.
