nirenjan 2fe7b8af43 Cleanup response protocol 
This change removes the unnecessary response length field from the
output buffer. It was added to check for possible issues in the
communication between client and server, but is not needed anymore. This
also makes the communication protocol standardized between client and
server.

Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux

Build/Test Kernel Module CodeQL

This project adds a new driver for the Saitek/MadCatz X52 Pro flight control system. The X52 pro is a HOTAS (hand on throttle and stick) with 7 axes, 39 buttons, 1 hat and 1 thumbstick and a multi-function display which is programmable.

Currently, only Windows drivers are available from Saitek PLC, which led me to develop a new Linux driver which can program the MFD and the individual LEDs on the joystick. The standard usbhid driver is capable of reading the joystick, but it cannot control the MFD or LEDs.

Most of the extra functionality can be handled from userspace. See the individual folders for README information.

Note: This repository currently only provides commandline interfaces to control the MFD and LEDs. If you are not comfortable working in the commandline, then the gx52 project might be a better fit for your needs as it provides a graphical interface to control the MFD and LEDs.
