Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Hello all,

I AM SUPER NEWB TO THIS... SUPER SUPER NEWB. So please if you can help me out I'd appreciate it.

Using the Leonardo I want 4 buttons to basically become a second 'joystick' or maybe button box is a better way to describe it..?

The only examples I have found that resemble what I want to do use the Audrino as a keyboard and include an LED, which I don't need cause the switches I have have LED's included. And some of the examples have like 40 lines but I'm pretty sure I only need like 4 per button..?

Basically I need help with figuring out -

A: How to write the script to ensure the arduino thinks its either a keyboard or joystick.
B: That I can call the 4 buttons joystick button 12-15 (however thats supposed to look).

So when I push and let go of the button its like pressing x on a keyboard, it goes down... registers to do the thing and then when i press it again it does the thing again.

basically its a button to toggle an action on/off in a game(the game im playing will work that way)

Appreciate any help I can get!

You might use the forum search function in the upper right of this page and search for "button toggle" and similar terms to see past similar discussions..
