Arduino yoke controller
PL1:
Just noticed that MattairTech restocked on the KADESTICK AVR. (only 4 left, though :o)
OP of the KADESTICK link in my sig has the info.

NOTE: If you order this board, select the 16 MHz clock and ATMEL DFU (FLIP) bootloader options.

If you use this board, it isn't recognized by Loader so you'll need to follow the directions in that thread to use FLIP to load the firmware.
Stick with the 2-axis firmware unless you need 3 or 4 to avoid rapid scrolling in some front ends. (Z-axis = scroll wheel, 0v on that input = scroll down quickly :lol)

If you want to "roll your own" right now, I'd suggest getting the AVR used in maxArcade from MattairTech here.
There are three firmwares in Loader:
-- USB/HID Joystick 2 Player with Analog (Beta) - each player has 4 analog axes, a d-pad, and 14 buttons
-- USB/HID Joystick 4 Player (Beta)
-- MAME 4 Player Encoder (Beta)
More details at kadevice.com.

EDIT: MattairTech restocked, but only a few available.

Just to verify, is this mt-db-u6 in the LOADER now or a coming release? Is that public or beta/internal use?

It has been publicly available in Loader since v1.1.2.0 (non-beta) was released in May.
To use the latest version, Loader 1.1.3.1, you just need to enable beta updates under Loader menu item "Advanced -- Beta Version" then "Help -- Check for Updates".
Kevin mentioned that the team doesn't plan on further developing this U6 board at this time, but the current beta version of the firmware works well.
BTW, the U4 board in KADESTICK is definitely a better deal unless you gotta have a 4-player panel with a single KADE or you wait until the U4s are sold-out again. >:D
