Interfacing a multi-axis controller to the joystick partner port

Back in June I posted details in this thread of how a PS3 controller can be interfaced to the joystick partner port using an arduino. I recently picked up a Space Navigator, a type of 3D controller that has 6 controllable axis in a single joystick like device.

I have done an update of the previous code to interface this in a similar way to the PS3, it’s actually simpler as the Space Navigator is a standard multi axis USB HID. Connections are as before but with the Space Navigator replacing the PS3.

The arduino code is attached if anyone is interested.
