The name of “Joystick” was originally controls for an aircraft’s ailerons, and it thought to originate with early 20^th century French pilot Robert Esnault-Pelterie. According to the history, the first electrical 2-axis joystick was probably invented around 1944 in Germany and the main purpose of it is to targeting the glide bomb Henschel Hs 293 against ship targets. An operator using the joystick to steer the missile towards the target!

The Atari standard joystick, was being known as the digital joystick with a single ‘fire’ red button and connected via a DE-9 connector, is the electrical specifications for the standard brand of digital joystick specification for many years! Joysticks were commonly used as controllers in first and second generation game consoles.

This AVR USB joystick is based on a simple AVR ATmega8 microcontroller, where the ATmega8 will simulate a standard USB HID device with 8 analog axis and up to 28 buttons including the Coolie hat.

With this incredible AVR based USB joystick, you’ll have a fun time moment, especially with the flight simulation game where a high tech joystick is needed for the fast response and accuracy.
