Re: Arduino Leonardo Recognized as Joystick
I am planning on having us try the Leonardo out this year instead of the Cypress board. It arrived this morning, so I haven't tried it yet. There are some decent resources on the web available, and I'll dig up what I found later tonight. Once we get it going I'll post some info here.

In short, you need a descriptor for your 'joystick' so you can describe the buttons etc that you are going to have, and then from your Arduino code, write your values to the computer as a report of the joystick state. Again, some resources where people have done this is helpful, and I will post some later.

Keep in mind having it show up as a joystick is not the same as how the Cypress board showed up in the Driver Station software, as far as I know.
