Hi y'all , I recently started a project that involves modifying a ps4 controller motherboard. I was wondering if there would be anyway for me to split 2 inputs into 4 analog inputs.
I'm a huge fan of the 3ds and psp joysticks and want to replace a single joystick with either of those two but ps4 controllers require 4 input methods and both of the analogs I want to use only have two
Hi @analogjunkie please do not post in the uncategorised forum section. If you check the sticky posts there, it clearly says you should not do that. I have moved your topic to a more appropriate section.
I don't know much about PS4 joysticks, but why do they have 4 analog outputs? X and Y I guess but what do the other 2 outputs represent?
Sorry , I'm new to the website and didn't know a fitting section
The ps4 joystick have two x axis and two y axis outputs a single output for each direction. I don't know the purpose exactly
in total 4 outputs
It seems a strange design!
What is your plan, to use an Arduino Pro Micro to make an adapter between the PS4 and the joystick? If so, no need to physically split the 2 analog outputs into 4, that can probably be achieved in the code.
PS4 controller is a USB HID device.
@analogjunkie show pictures, schematics, diagrams and more description
yes, one stick - two axes, two sticks - 4 axes.
for your project you can build controller without scraping PS4 controller, and much cheaper.
I know I can do it without the ps4 motherboard, but I'd also then have to include and code 20+ other analog inputs
For other controls that I've already figured out.
In this project specifically I chose the ps4 controller for that reason as it saves me about $200 that I would have needed to spend on everything else.
