Thanks for the overview Joshua. Your info is helpful. I am converting a used PFC Cirrus yoke from it's PCATD proprietary DB-15 output to USB. The DTA board is temp out of stock, so I ordered the Leo Bodnar board. I tried using a 10 bit Arduino board, but wasn't happy with the resolution. /Len

That sounds like a really fun project! The Leo Bodnar card in the video is mostly for digital inputs. They do have 12-bit Joystick boards and their stuff is of very high quality. Thanks for your comments and enjoy your project :)
