Convert Big Joystick to Xbox Adaptive Controller Joystick

Jan 12, 2024: After upgrading the XAC firmware, the Thrustmaster T.16000M USB flight stick works without an adaptor. This adaptor is no longer needed.

XAC connected to big joystick using Leonardo and USB host shield

The only Big Joystick currently supported is the Thrustermaster T.16000M (T16K) flight stick. The T16K does not work when plugged directly into the Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC). This project allows the XAC to talk to the T16K by translating the T16K HID messages to HID messages the XAC understands.

One nice feature of the T16K is it can be configured for left or right hand users.
