Open Source Hardware Platforms

This project was originally designed to provide an open-source replacement for PPJoy. The product, at this point, consists of virtual joystick devices that is seen by the system as a standard joystick but its position-data is written to it by a feeder application. An existing feeder application that takes advantage of this product is SmartPropoPlus. If you are an application writer you can very easily write an application that controls a joystick (e.g. mouse-to-joystick, keyboard-to-joystick). If you are a beginner in device drivers you can take this code and enhance it to support more (or less) axes, buttons or POVs.

FlightGear Controller (fgctrl) is a combination of software and hardware (mostly AVR-based) that let you build a simplified cockpit for controlling aircraft in FlightGear and other flight simulators.

An OSX userspace library that allows joystick events to be remapped. Several joysticks can be combined into a single controller, and button/axes events can be remapped to new joystick, keyboard or mouse events. Advanced scripting also supported. Supports: * Applications that use IOKit (the newer interface) * Boxer (dosbox for OSX)

The libjoyevent library transparently intercepts joystick events, simultaneously modifying/masking/logging/generating fake X11 keyboard events as a response to each joystick event based on dynamically selectable configuration profile.
