Nice project! How are you aiming to connect the joystick to the Pi? right now im intergrading an analog to digital converter chip "mcp3008" to the stick..im managed to get it working on the GPIO but i much rather intergrade it to the teensy LC. on the pi i got it working by enabling the SPI.. https...

the analog stick was fabricated from a ps3 controller...there are also "L" and "R" buttons on top
