so, a month ago, i started an project with arduino leonardo that consists of making a gaming steering wheel, and now all of the components have arrived. It is a project started by other person on youtube, and he sent, as a code, an .hex file. the point is, i already know how to upload it to my arduino but i would like to make changes to the code, as the original has fewer options. Here's an diagram of it: ![Captura de Tela (17)](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/8/6/9/8699616aca09f6b567c05a79a8ced7b190b696ab.png) i just want to know how to edit an .hex file if it is even possible. ---

Editing can be done with an hex editor but it won’t do you any good unless you are fluent in hex binary coding… it’s a task for a compiler and linker. Ask. For the source code or better develop yours! ---

This project is from some person on youtube, i asked them via comments but i don't know if they're gonna give Me the code. I may try to take a look at the joystick library API and try to make a code but i don't really know coding. Thanks for helping anyways! ---
