i tried to change the pins on analog input pins to some other pins on #define and it didnt work.
i poked around the code but i couldn't figure out how sampleAnalogAxes() worked. let alone how to change the pins.
i tried analogRead() but the sampleAnalogAxes() method works so well that i dont want to re write that part.
would you mind if you teach me how that works or how to change pins on that?
its a bit more advanced then a simple analogRead() to me and im too clueless to figure out by searching alone.

Hi there, thanks for this project!

Having found an old (25-30yrs?) Thrustmaster FCS in my mum's loft, this has provided a helpful start in getting some life back into it! I have two questions:

• For the "PC Joystick adaptor", can you explain the purpose of the 120Ω series resistors on the analog lines (and how you arrived at that value)? I've seen various suggested GamePort wiring setups in other projects, but most have used much higher resistors (e.g. 100kΩ in http://www.built-to-spec.com/blog/2009/09/10/using-a-pc-joystick-with-the-arduino/ or 47kΩ in https://www.hackster.io/zachary_fields/thrustmaster-mark-ii-fcs-resurrection-08b793) to pull those lines direct to ground and create a voltage divider with the pot in the joystick. I'm getting quite a lot of "noise" on my analog readings, so I wonder if adjusting that resistor value would help?

• I don't suppose you have any knowledge of the "WCS" throttle add-on (http://www.cyberg8t.com/f2comp/prodwcs.htm) - it appears to let the FCS pass-through it, but also had a 5-pin DIN connector which I think must have gone into a soundcard MIDI interface. Wondering what it would take to retrieve the inputs from that too!

Many thanks,
