Are almost all new to arduino programing. But seems to be some like the other programming languages i learned.
I have just finished all the projects in the starter kit.
And want to go on with my main misson
I want to build a custom game controller that i can edit the components in. Like if i need a couple extra buttons or pedals or what ever i just can add it and edit my code
So i want to start to make my computer se a gaming device with axis (pots) and a few buttons that acts as buttons or is emulated or assigned as keyboard keys
I have looked over the net and only found like "make a ps3 controller of you arduino" and that havet a locked set of buttons
Your main problem will be getting your computer to recognise the Arduino as a game controller rather than a serial communications device.
You would need probably need to use an Arduino board based on the Atmega32U4 (or similar) where the USB is integrated into the micro controller.
But it is possible to use a normal Arduino is you build some additional analog circuits to interface the USB connections to the Arduino.
The Playstation controller you mentioned is not USB and the connections are totally different.
However the most complex aspect of the project will be writing the USB code to mimic whatever game controller your computer and game expect to use.
