Helicopter Pedals (Bell 429) as Joystick Emulation

Going to try to build helicopter pedals that appear to X-Plane as a Joystick.

I had to purchase a Arduino Leonardo, because only this model can appear to a Windows machine as a Joystick. Arrived today from Amazon (keyestudio), about $15.

Tom Stanton did something similar, using Hall effect instead of a potentiometer.
