How to build a DIY USB joystick based on ATmega8.
Another construction using AVR USB implementation by Igor Cesko:
Author wrote: I have started developing this joystick controller inspired by the need of a simple DIY joystick which could overcome the limitations of the gameport and deliver greater accuracy and flexibility in the possible designs. I realized the need for such device because I like to play IL2 Sturmovik. This game has obvious demand for a high quality joystick unless you are happy being dead meat. Most mass market joysticks have lots of flaws. And there are a lot of guys who make joysticks of their own design. Many of these designs are much better than mass production ones. For most of these designs the controller is needed. Using the gameport would ruin all the efforts of high precision mechanics. There are many of these discussions on IL2 game forums. The obvious demand was for USB joystick controller so I pursued in this direction. And here it is...
