X52 Joystick independent?

Have you ever try to make the X52 Joystick alone work ??

 

Thx

Just as is no way, because X-52 stick don't have any USB circuit inside, just Hall sensor (X,Y axes) and buttons/HAT's.

 

Can be modded for standalone joystick with a USB joystick controller, eg. L.Bodnar Bu0836, Derekspearedesigns DSD12... But expensive for what X-52 is.

 

An DIY joystick controller, e.g. Arduino PRO Micro (ATMEGA32u4) flashed with MMJoy2 firmware or STM32F103C8 flashed with FreeJoy firmware (see topic in this forum), both cheap options, cards costs less than $5.

 

Can use any of these for create an adapter for the cable that leave X-52 stick base, placing the card inside a box with PS2 connector, what leave X-52 original (for what?) but is more laborious.
