Prior to this change, generation of the character lookup table could use Python 2 or Python 3, depending on what the first instance of python in the PATH pointed to. On most systems, python is a symbolic link to python2.7. However, given that Python 2 is EOL, it makes sense to switch the code to use Python 3 now, rather than later. This change updates the requirements to use Python 3.6 or later, and updates the Makefile to invoke the script with the detected python binary, rather than relying on the shebang to use the system Python. |

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.
