I saw this video of a controller and it inspired me to make my own. I'm new to woodworking, and was looking for a new hobby.
Inspiration video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhEtE6EWKPk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhEtE6EWKPk)
Someone gave me a sawed Cherry Wood log...
The major difference (besides the poorer craftsmanship) is this controller had room for a raspberry pi...if you plug the controller into itself, it's its own joystick, or you can plug it into a computer and have it be the joystick.
