This project adds a new driver for the Saitek/MadCatz X52/X52Pro flight control system. The X52/X52Pro 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, 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.
This project is a rewrite of https://github.com/nirenjan/x52pro-linux in Go.
