User repurposes flight sim throttle as Codex keyboard input

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user on Reddit shared how they repurposed their flight simulator throttle to function as a keyboard input for OpenAI's Codex, bypassing the need for a dedicated Codex Micro device. The user detailed their process of prompting Codex to create a plan and then implementing the functionality over a weekend, resulting in a custom controller with LED status indicators and programmable buttons for dictation and other tasks. They also shared their project, named 'joydex', on GitHub for others to use. AI
