Re: Custom Controllers
Why not use the cypress, seeing as thats exactly what its designed for and the reason it was included in the kit?

Also, if you wanted to, you could use a device such as a PIC18F4550 to build your own USB controller based around the Joystick HID class. I'm not sure if this is allowed by the rules or not though. The PIC18F4550 is available from a number of sources for ~$5 per part. This is advanced microcontroller stuff though, and a bit beyond the scope of FRC.
