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.
