Hello,
I have a tricky wiring problem, I am making an Arduino Micro game controller for an art exhibition. I have designed the controller to house the Arduino Micro within the controller body. I have bought a really nice sturdy long cable to go from the controller to the computer (which will be hidden).
The problem I have is that the cable is 3 core and I need a 4 core cable to attach to the micro USB output of the Arduino Micro. I am wondering if there is a way for me to transfer the data of the controller to the computer through a 3 core cable.
The controller has an analog stick and a button so therefore the Arduino needs 5 inputs(GND,3V,A0,A1 and D12) so it dosent make sense to store the Arduino outside the controller.
I am wondering if there is a clever way of getting the information across with a 3 core cable. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
There is only one 3 core wire going into the game controller. The ardunio micro needs two wires to power it .therefore there is only one more available wire. How would I connect this to D+ and D- ?
Power the controller with batteries or an external power supply. you need 4 wires to carry power & USB. Probably better to just use ethernet cab;e or something similar.
