This is how I modified my ancient ThrustMaster RCS (Rudder Pedals) of my ViperPit and made it work again with the help of an Arduino Pro Micro. The pedals (and also the other peripherals) do belong in a museum but where's the fun in that? Now it's a generic USB joystick that works on any recent system. I focus mostly on the programming with VSCode and Platform IO this time and show the complete setup and programming of the Arduino after I make the required hardware changes to the pedals.
