FlightYokeSystem

Logitech/Saitek Flight Yoke System joystick interface (C++, Simulink), using DirectX API (DirectInput and Direct Output). This requires DirectX. Developed on the basis of the samples shown in https://github.com/walbourn/directx-sdk-samples/tree/main/DirectInput/Joystick.

Make sure you have installed DirectX SDK https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=6812. This SDK providess the necessary headers like dinput.h and libraries like dinput8.lib, dxguid.lib.

Necessary files to be in your folder (where your .slx present, or the referenced path):

1. YokeSystem.h the header file
2. YokeSystem.cpp the function definition file: this file
3. Your .cpp impelementation file (put it in Source Files)

HOW TO COMPILE IN VISUAL STUDIO
Include the YokeSystem.h in the header files (project tree) and in your folder. When something goes wrong, you can manually set everything in the project properties.

1. In the C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories, add the "Include" folder of the DirectX SDK. (Find the folder in your DirectX SDK installation directory).
2. In the Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories, add the "Lib/x64" (if win64) of the DirectX SDK (find it in your DirectX SDK installation directory).
3. In the Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies, write dinput8.lib; dxguid.lib, add.

HOW TO COMPILE (FOR MATLAB SIMULINK)

1. You need C++ compiler available in your system.
2. Be sure to set the compiler appropriately for C++, use "mex -setup" and choose accordingly.
3. Compile in Matlab with "mex YokeSystem_SFun.cpp".
4. This gives you a mexw64 file (Matlab executable file) in the folder.

Open the Simulink file YokeSystem.slx and see more. You can read more detailed information in each of the files here.
