Create gamepad mapping in the following form:

{
    "throttle": {"axis": 1, "invert": true},
    "yaw": {"axis": 0, "invert": false},
    "roll": {"axis": 3, "invert": false},
    "pitch": {"axis": 4, "invert": true},
    "arm": {"button": 5, "invert": false}
}

You can identify the axes by running:

sitl-gamepad

And moving the axes and buttons around

New terminal: Run

sitl path/to/gamepad_mapping.json
