arduino gamepad

[mrmushroom2001]

Hello,

I would like to make a 10 button gamepad using an arduino mega2560 (atmega16u2) but the joystick library doesn't work with this chip. What shoul i do in this case? I tried the same with an arduino promicro but it has 7 pwm pins so i could only program 7 buttons.

This makes no sense at all. How does the number of PWM pins limit the number of available buttons?

Besides, Pro Micro has 5 PWM pins. Are you confusing Micro with Pro Micro?

I am a total noob, i'm sorry. I do not know how to program it, is there a forum or something i can read so i can learn how to do it?

Arduino Gamepad Emulator

Hi, im new with Arduino and i want to introduce my project which is called Arduino Gamepad Emulator and a minimalistic arduino library that enables to make use of the main application. I wanted to make a gamepad with my Arduino UNO clone by attaching buttons and joysticks to it. I found out that in case of Arduino UNO or NANO its not as easy as it may seem to be because they don't have a ATmega32u4 chip which supports HID class. In this case we cannot use directly the most popular library calle…
