I haven't set up the board that will run the whole thing, but using a test board I have for another project that had a serial chip on it let me test the basics. I hooked a potentiometer up to it and was able to have the pic send its position to the pc and the PPJoy software did a great job passing that on to the game. Since it was just one pot, I used the keyboard to do throttle and used the dangling pot to steer, pretty interesting.

I think my initial prototype will be an external...
