Arduino USB flight joystick for ESP32S3 and ESP32S2

USB Flight Joystick for ESP32

See https://registry.platformio.org/libraries/schnoog/Joystick_ESP32S2 for a more powerful and flexible USB joystick library for ESP32-S2 and ESP32-S3.

This has only been tested on ESP32S3 boards. It should work on ESP32S2 boards.

The 3D joystick has the following controls.

Control	Description
X	10 bits, 0..1023
Y	10 bits, 0..1023
Z	8 bits, 0..255
Throttle	8 bits, 0..255
Buttons	12 buttons
Hat	8 way hat switch/direction pad

The HID report has been carefully chosen so it works with the Xbox Adaptive Controller(XAC). All the other open source XAC joysticks I have seen use 8 bits for X and Y. When used with XAC, only the X, Y, and 8 buttons are supported. This is a limitation of the XAC.

Install this library by downloading a zip file from this repo. Use the IDE "Add .zip library" option.

Troubleshooting

Set "Tools->USB Mode" to "Hardware CDC and JTAG". This seems wrong but it works when using ESP32 USB device libraries.

After uploading firmware, powering cycling and/or reseting the board is required.

Support for more features

Hi, I found your project, very impressive. I'm looking for a ESP32 alternative to the FreeJoy project https://github.com/FreeJoy-Team/FreeJoy
Are you planning to add more features similar to the FreeJoy project?
