Hey guys. This is actually something we've researched and put some time into already. Our take on it was that almost nobody would want to cut a hole in their Boxy Pixel shell to add an analog stick.
That take on it was a bit of a guess, so now I don't know if you are one of "almost nobody" or if our assumptions were way off.
I don't want to dissuade you from doing it the way Porcinus has laid out. Plenty of people use the ADS1015 chip to do analog inputs, and Porcinus definitely has a lot of experience with this stuff.
At the moment, Andrew (who does the PCB layout) isn't around. He just had his first baby, so he's pretty unavailable. BUT, he did put some effort into how we could get the analog chips into the BP shell, and he may have a solution for you. I'll ask him to look at this thread when he has a chance and either tell me something or chime in here.
