<a name="overview" class="anchor" href="#overview"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Overview</h2>
|
|
|
|
<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 quite capable of reading the joystick, it is not sufficient to
|
|
really utilize all the capabilities of this system.</p>

<a name="kernel-module" class="anchor" href="#kernel-module"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Kernel Module</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Currently, a kernel module exists which supports reading from the joystick and reporting to the input subsystem. The kernel module also supports setting the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>MFD brightness</li>
|
|
<li>LED brightness</li>
|
|
<li>LED state for all 20 LEDs</li>
|
|
<li>MFD text for all 3 lines</li>
|
|
</ul><p>Pending are the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Clock (Date/Time) on the MFD</li>
|
|
<li>LED blinking mode</li>
|
|
<li>Shift indicator on the MFD</li>
|
|
</ul><h3>

|
<a name="userspace-daemon" class="anchor" href="#userspace-daemon"><span class="octicon octicon-link"></span></a>Userspace Daemon</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>In progress is a userspace daemon which hooks to the hidraw interface of the standard usbhid driver and interprets the hidraw data. Objectives for this daemon are:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Create a uinput driver which will send keyboard and mouse events to the input subsystem.</li>
|
|
<li>Create an output driver which will update the LEDs and MFD on the joystick.</li>
|
|
<li>Create an API which will allow plugins to communicate with the daemon and update the joystick.</li>
|
|
<li>Create an API which will allow customizing the keyboard and mouse event mapping.</li>
|
|
</ul>
