<h1>Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>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. Although the standard usbhid
|
|
driver is capable of reading the joystick, it is not sufficient to
|
|
really utilize all the capabilities of this system.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>This project is currently a work-in-progress. However a high level
|
|
outline of the current objectives are listed below:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Write a kernel module and export sysfs interfaces to act as a
|
|
driver.</li>
|
|
<li>Write a userspace program that can configure the kernel module
|
|
and create custom button mappings to keyboard or mouse events.</li>
|
|
<li>Add interrupt handling and export a /dev/input/jsX interface.</li>
|
|
<li>Allow userspace programs to register callbacks on MFD button events.</li>
|
|
</ul>
