[RESOLVED] Connecting an usb joystick to Arduino Due using Native usb port

Hardware Arduino Due
1

I would like to know how to connect my joystick (logitech dual action: Getting Started - Dual Action Gamepad – Logitech Support + Download ) to Native usb port of Arduino Due.

A library already done is USBHOST (USBHost - Arduino Reference) compatible with Due,
but it works only with mouse and keyboard.

Is there someone who has integrated to the library USB HOST, to use it with a joystick?

Thank.

Maybe this Library:

in the library is written "Arduino library that allows an Arduino Leonardo, Arduino Micro, or Arudino Due to appear as a Joystick or Gamepad.", so I don't think it goes well.

OK. A library for an HID joystick attached to the USB Host remains to be written (certainly a lot of work), BUT:

There is a library for a USB HID Mouse attached to the USB Shield, and a library for a HID joystick attached to the USB shield too. This could be a starting point to adapt a version for the DUE Native USB2.0 as a USB HID Host for an HID joystick Device:

Compare e.g. the USB Host library for a HID Mouse and the one for the shield and understand differences so that you can adapt the library below for the DUE USB as a USB HID Host for an HID joystick Device.

Since there was no library to satisfy my needs, by changing the UsbHost library (in particular the mouse example) I created the possibility of using a USB joystick (in particular I used my joystick which I talk about above).
Attached is the new version of the library, with the basic example of the joystick.

Hi Danny,

please guide me to make the Logitech F710 speak with my Arduino due.

I connected the controller nano receiver to native port via otg cable.

when I power up arduino with usb trace log, i get below log:
