Re: Arduino as driver station joystick?

Uhid can get button/analog data into a HID data structure. Looks like a HID (no drivers) to the Driver Station. Input only (when acting as a joystick). It's awesome.

I personally hated the Cypress board when we used it in 2010. We will NEVER use it again, we had far too many reliability issues with the drivers. The drivers then were very very unstable and would lockup after coming out of sleep, and we had to write code to workaround a lack of Cypress input and map key function to other places (on the driver's gamepad).
