GIGA_HORSE

Hello, So I have built a helicopter collective stick for DCS using Bodnar board, I am very happy with how it feels and its functionality, but very unhappy with the electronics part. it has 8 axes, 32 buttons, and one hat switch. The board turned out to be too big to fit inside the box, plus its resolution is 12 bits. So I did some research and it appears a USB joystick controller can be built using Arduino Leonardo and there is an Instructables page on it, but I am completely illiterate when it comes to coding. Has someone built a joystick controller using Arduino? I hope to find a complete and ready code that I can upload to a board and some sort of schematics outlining which pins to connect to buttons. Thanks for the help.
