I know the ipad has that arcade style controller, but I want to know if it is possible to make my own controller? I looked online for a sample code for the arduino and I didn't find anything. I did however find dozens of articles for controlling an Arduino FROM an Iphone, but not the other way around. :{

Did anyone else try this, and does anyone know where I can get a sample code to start with.

Things like the iCade emulate a bluetooth keyboard. You could do something similar, using a bluetooth module that supported the HID profile.

Oh, I thought it was pluged into the Ipad. Yea, emulating a BT keyboard is no problem.
Thank you.

Some of the ones I have seen have a connector on them, but it is either just for passthrough (so you can still charge the iPad with the controller connected), or just dummy pins that help hold the controller onto the iPad.

I have code that will read Arduino/Teensy 2.0 input pins and send out USB iCade-compatible keys. I have tested it with iPad and an Atari 2600 joystick smiley

I am going to start posting more of my input code as I get time.
