Excellent video, Really loved how detailed and precise you were. Would be awesome if we could have 2 more analogue pins for The triggers but i think we might need another microcontroller for that.

@SaberCPP 2 месяца назад

Yeah I ran out of pins for the joystick buttons and only had 4 analog pins for the joysticks. Hopefully I can make a v2 at some point with a more expansive controller!

@saifialeem8255 2 месяца назад

@@SaberCPP That would be awesome, you should use a button Matrix to use more buttons in limited space

@SaberCPP 2 месяца назад

@@saifialeem8255 Yeah that would definitely work if I could get the tracks in all the right places! We still need a controller with 2 more analog pins though...

@saifialeem8255 2 месяца назад

@@SaberCPP Arduino Pro Micro has 9 Analog pins A0, A1, A2, A3, A6, A7, A8, A9 and A10, I think we can use 6 of them

@SaberCPP 2 месяца назад

Oh yeah I don’t know what I was thinking 🤦‍♂️ So I could actually use that for v2 with a matrix!!!

@jaythebay8425 3 месяца назад

can you connect this to a Xbox Series? Will it register it as a actual Series controller or just a pc controller?

@SaberCPP 3 месяца назад

Unfortunately not, as Microsoft uses a special security chip to prove which controllers are theirs and no one knows how to duplicate it.

@jqson24 Месяц назад

how's the input lag test? assuming its wired connection. Interesting video. I'm also planning on using my spare arduino Uno R3 as Arcade Stick. I got schematic diagram mapped out but I still lack tactile buttons.

@SaberCPP Месяц назад

I couldn't get the input lag test to work but I did do a polling test and it polls at 1000 hertz, so theoretically it will respond quite quickly (with it being wired, this is not surprising)

@TheUnlimitedGuy 24 дня назад

nice job! but idk why when i upload the code the pc don't recognize the arduino pro micro but when i upload other codes it read it

@SaberCPP 23 дня назад

Thanks! That's weird though. So my code doesn't work but you found some different code that works? Mind if I ask what that code is? Just in case someone else has a similar issue (or if there's something wrong with my code that I can fix, I've only tested it on my system of course).

@FEU1235 7 месяцев назад

Where do you get the board xinput version of the micro

@SaberCPP 7 месяцев назад

You just get a regular micro and then the library/board info stuff takes care of the rest! (Shameless plug: I do have a kit available if you want all the parts)

@FEU1235 7 месяцев назад

@@SaberCPP Ok, thanks, I have a normal one already so that works out great! I am going to build my own spinoff of this into my current project which is a handheld libre computer retro console. I have been looking around for a solution for the controls for a while and this is perfect! I will probably make a vid on my console once it is done if anyone else is interested.

bro is it possible to do this with an "esp32-wroom-32d" i tried doing it the bluetooth way but it has unreliable connection and keeps disconnecting but it would be a hassle to order an arduino board because it would take days or weeks to arrive please reply, im knee deep in this project i already did the wiring, and code is the only thing stopping me from finishing it

@SaberCPP Месяц назад

Ah that’s unfortunate! The ESP32 doesn’t have a USB chip that can talk to a computer as a human interface device (most Arduino boards don’t either, that’s why you have to get the Pro Micro or maybe the Leonardo or a couple of others). If i were in your place I would try to troubleshoot the Bluetooth as I’ve heard ESP32s are pretty good with Bluetooth, but I can’t help much there as I don’t have any experience.

@TheUnlimitedGuy 22 дня назад

@@anothertemplarchuunibyoude3750 if you want my advice quit using esp32 even the bluetooth part because it not good at all i tried to make it work but i didn't end up with any thing i used BleGamepad library but it's not that good i ended up using arduino pro micro and it worked well

@rezabagri896 2 месяца назад

i got an Arduino Pro Micro and uploaded the code to it, now the controller is working but it doesn't recognise the mirco as an Arduino Pro Micro, is recognising it as a game controller. i tried to change the code or upload an empty code(for using micro in other ways) but since my computer recognising it as a game controller, i can't use Arduino IDE. is this code locking the micro? any way to change the uploaded code?

@SaberCPP 2 месяца назад

Yeah it does make it act like a game controller so you have to plug in the board, double tap the reset button, and then upload the code (this is time sensitive, might take a couple of tries)

@Expyrial 20 дней назад

So if I built one of these controllers, could I sell it? Or would I need to build my own code? (I want to do a mint tin size controller)

@SaberCPP 20 дней назад

I’m not sure what the XInput library has for a license, you’d have to check. I did barely anything beyond the demo, so you’re welcome to use what I have if their license permits it

@bettergamingchairwins2442 2 месяца назад

Is there some way you can see the latency of this arduino controller? I am curious about it

@SaberCPP 2 месяца назад

Yeah there are testers I think let me look into it

@SaberCPP 2 месяца назад

I couldn't get any of the online testers to work and check the latency of the controller, but it does poll 1000 times/second, which is pretty standard and as it's a wired connection I would assume it's the same as most other wired controllers.

@bettergamingchairwins2442 2 месяца назад

@@SaberCPP I thought you might say that, I just have none of the tools or knowledge to do it myself so figured I would ask. Thanks for the info, I appreciate it

@agustinvolador_robot4638 3 месяца назад

Hi, sorry for being ignorant in arduino. Is posible to have extra buttons, on the bottom of the controller like a scuf controller?

@SaberCPP 3 месяца назад

Of course. If you’re making by your own PCB like I did you can add buttons wherever you want! (Only limit is the Arduino board has to have enough pins for it)

@agustinvolador_robot4638 3 месяца назад

@@SaberCPP thank you man, really apreciatte you respond my coment. Sorry for the inglish, can a i use an arduino mega o orginal. To make the joystick

@SaberCPP 3 месяца назад

Of course! Unfortunately, I don't think the mega will work because you need a special USB chip that can talk to the computer that average Arduinos don't have. If you want a bigger board, I believe the Arduino Leonardo has a couple more pins and has the 32u4 chip (any board that has the 32u4 usb chip should work).

@saifialeem8255 2 месяца назад

@@agustinvolador_robot4638You can use A button Matrix to use more buttons if needed
