Progress has been coming along well. I implemented all the configuration reading and object instantiation today. Tonight I took it out for a test spin with KSP. The joysticks are working* and so is the throttle. The buttons are sort of working, but I think that's mostly due to bad wiring. I had to do some troubleshooting and bug fixing, but it's all working now.

I made the final checkin to the Pythonify branch and merged it back into the master. This was a big milestone. Although I hadn't expected this hiccup, getting back to where I was is somewhat of an accomplishment.

Next step is to wire up the 7-segment displays and bargraphs and confirm that works. Once that's done, I can order the PCB. After that it's back to hardware to finish soldering up all the buttons and wiring. With all of that done, I'll be ready for the full prototype hardware test. I'm hoping I can get to that stage within a month.
