All power on the joystick's ports is shared, so only one ground and vcc is needed. The other 3 wires provide the X(Roll- POT0), Y(Pitch-POT1), Z(button-POT2) signal. | All power on the joystick's ports is shared, so only one ground and vcc is needed.

This joystick solution is from irun4fundotca.
Here's my joystick solution that wont break the bank (about $5-10usd). First off, its installed on a makeshift mount until I find a better one, due to selling my last one in frustration. It's a joystick sold on ebay for about $3.59usd with free shipping and comes with locking Molex. All that's needed is some wire, 3pin locking Molex housings, a 1-row 5-pin female Dupont header (to connect to POT pins GND,POT0,POT1,POT2,VCC).
All power on the joystick's ports is shared, so only one ground and vcc is needed. The other 3 wires provide the X(Roll- POT0), Y(Pitch-POT1), Z(button-POT2) signal.
Here's my connection drawing to make it simple using roll instead of pan as I don't have it connected on this one.
