In this video, the maker built a joystick and then connected an Arduino to a servo to mimic the movements. How would I go about learning how to do this? I don't mean the fancy metal machining to make the joystick apparatus, but there should be some way to connect simple servos to an Arduino to do the same thing. Any suggestions?

It's a little fuzzy but I think there's a mention or something of this on a dronebot video.
I'm not an Arduino or servo motor specialist but I did a quick dive and it takes a certain type of motor and basically the input can go either way you capture it and then replay it is what I understand but take that with a grain of salt. Good luck on your search!

Maybe within the sketch, it defines the servos as input and waits for movement and stores them and then changes the servos to output and then reads the movements?

I'm very interested in this please post up what you find and when you get it working 🙂

I am only on the start of my self-education regarding this so it might be a while, but I certainly will keep y'all informed. I've sent an email to the maker of that video for some help in which direction to start.
Cheers!
