[Request] Looking for a mod for absolute control instead of relative - set my craft's heading based on exact joystick position

I posted this to Reddit earlier:

It's an Arduino IMU acting as a joystick, which allows me to control spacecraft by tilting the IMU in various directions.  Problem is, it's acting like a regular joystick, which means it's relative control.  If I tilt it a little bit, and then return it to center, the craft will continue spinning in that direction.  This is relative control.

 

What I want, is to be able to mount this IMU in a gimbal, so whatever position I spin it towards, that's the direction KSP tries to set my craft to.  AKA absolute control.  Is there any plugin or mod out there that will try to set my craft's pitch, roll and heading based on the exact position each joystick axis is in?

@moeburn,these are the only two i know about,hope it helps.

I can assure you that the second one currently doesn't handle rotational control at all (give me a few weeks ). And the first currently only does relative control. 

kRPC includes an autopilot that can move the vessel to a given pitch, roll and heading. It seems like an easy job to write a service that reads that info from your Arduino over serial and controls the kRPC autopilot.

Oh it doesn't even need to read the Arduino over serial, since it is already outputting as a generic USB HID joystick device.  All I need is something that can make my joystick, any joystick, absolute control based on the 3 joystick axes, instead of relative
