Serial communication between DIY joystick controller and laptop was a success! It can interpret movements on the joysticks and translate that!

Unfortunately though, the Arduino Nano sends way too many commands to the drone -- causing it to slow down the drone by wayyyyy too much (to the point the camera freezes)! What's the point of a camera that freezes and cannot even process frames...

So for CS 12 demo day, we used keyboard controls to control the drone & demonstrated controller serial communication with the laptop :)
