+====== Arduino As Joystick Interface ======
+I haven't been working with Arduinos for a while. Recently set up MSFS 2020 with PMDG 737 and decided that controlling thrust and thrust reversers better than the default, or using my X52 was worth pursuing.
+I know that there are 3 kinds of Arduinos which appear to Windows as a Joystick:
+  * Arduino Leonardo
+  * Arduino Micro
+  * Arduino Micro Pro
+It appears I purchased an Arduino Leonardo (which easier-to use pins), and a 3-pack of Arduino Micro Pro compatibles, both in 6/2021.
+^Requirement^Comment^
+^Power Required|5V, but an upstream regulator may need 6.2V|
+==== Notes ====
+Rasperry Pi's require 3.3 V. To convert between 5V components, there is an IC which allows interfacing either up or down.
