nirenjan 7ae5cad0cc Clear warning when linking x52test_log_actions 
Prior to this change, we were linking the log_actions program against
the stub library, since we needed to use the logging capabilities in the
stub library to save the expected values to a file for the test harness
to use. However, doing so gives us the following warning:

*** Warning: Linking the executable x52test_log_actions against the loadable module
*** libusbx52.so is not portable!

Since we don't really need to have dynamic linking in this case, simply
including the stub library source into the log_actions program sources
list is sufficient, and bypasses this warning.

Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux

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.

Building

Build Status

Build has been tested on the following operating systems (x86-64 only):

  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  • Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
  • OS X 10.13.6

Prerequisites

You will need the following packages:
