Arduino 56 Button Joystick 737 Gear Control

In this video we build a 737 Gear Handle for the Sim. This is a 3D Printed unit with all the parts additionally added below.

Programming required for an Arduino Pro Micro as a 56 Button Joystick controller to interface additional switches beyond just the buttons for the gear handle.

3D print file I found and bought -- sorry could not find a free one.

Has to be either a Pro Micro or a Leonardo -- needs the 32u4 for direct HID support.....will not work with other models.

Sketch

It is in the Video -- Youtube does not seem to like it added here do to bracket types used in the sketches - so here is a dropbox link not sure how long it will stay available.
