Hi! I'm thinking about trying to make a controller like the switch joycons for an android phone. Sort of like this: Android Universal Mobile Gaming Controller - Razer Kishi V2 for Android
I haven't been able to find anything on this subject and I'm wondering if using an Arduino microcontroller to pull this off would be possible.
What is that?
The link asks me to be invaded by the site cookies or more. That's no, no.
Arduinos don't handle video.
What do You want an Arduino to do?
Post a little logic block diagram. Pen and paper works fine.
I just need the Arduino to be the controllers on the side, to control the phone in the middle.
What would the Arduinos do, what would they control? What other devices would be used, connected?
Still, please post a block diagram showing what's it all about. Else You will get no better answer. You're way to unprecise.
What you're looking to do here is have the Arduino emulate an HID (Human Interface Device). Not all Arduinos have the capability to do this. The key feature that allows HID emulation is a USB host module. Once you have one of the Arduinos with USB host, your next steps are to figure out the protocol the phone uses for HIDs. Examples exist for emulating a mouse, keyboard, or gamepad with an Arduino connected to a PC, but I'm not sure if the same libraries/code will work with an Android phone. This would need experimentation or further research on your part to figure out.
