My old store bought gaming wheels all use 8bit microcontrollers. I wonder if a person made a gaming wheel using 16 bit Arduino microcontroller would it offer increased precision and performance and can a Arduino based game controller take advantage of USB 3.0? Thank you very much for your time and effort.
i know this video is old, but genuine Uno's and Mega's (or clones which use the ATMega.. (16U2 for example) chips as USB interface) can be used as highly powerful double Arduino's infact if you flash Hoodloader on both chips using an external flasher (another Arduino as ISP) you can flash both the ATMega328/2560 and the ATMega16U2 on that board and write custom code for both, while retaining the ability to flash either through USB afterwards shame the USB chips in those cases don't have their A and D pins exposed, cuz official Uno's are both an Uno and a Leonardo in one board I have a pair of Geekcreit Mega clones which use the ATMega16U4 instead which actually has ADC's, so just imagine having all the IO of both the 16U4 and the 2560... oh well
First of all I would like to thank you for providing such an informative and useful video. Really!! Actually I was planning to make a Mame arcade joystick using a keyboard encoder taken out of a usb keyboard. But using a Arduino Leonardo looks much efficient and better. I have some questions!! I am planning to make a Mame arcade encoder with 4 direction keys + around 14 other keys to play and control the settings of Mame. As you know, in arcade fighting games, we press multiple keys simultaneously ( for example, up+right+ button 1 etc), will it be possible to do so without any delays? In computer keyboards, when we press multiple keys, we have problems such as keyboard ghosting and masking. So Arduino leonardo keyboard encoder will have the same problems?
Potentially limitless if you use varying sizes of resistors, but if you're new, I'd easily say you could get 10-12 buttons working with very simple code.
Which board would be the best base for a "controller" (which is basically my whole rig apart from the PC itself and its peripherals) that has 7 analog axes, 16 buttons and 2 POV hats? Right now I'm running everything off of the PCBs of 2 old joysticks and the games I wanna use the rig for only detect 1 of them at a time. I've even tried combining both boards into a single virtual controller using VJoy but the games won't even recognize it or prioritize the inputs of either joystick over the selected (!) VJoy device.
Hi, do you have any videos of controller a PS4 with an Arduino? I'd like to do it without hacking into a controller and feeding the IO in directly if possible.
So long as you have the basic controller working, you can replace your analog and digital inputs to anything you want. You can get an analog input from your fingers, to the arduino (any program taking analog) it will be no different from using a joystick input. For digital inputs, you could still an analog input and just have a specific threshold value to be considered ON/OFF. If your running out of analog input pins, you can use a comparator to turn a analog to digital, also by comparing to a threshold value. Or you could have a physical digital input on the glove itself.
you only mentioned weather or not the micro one could be pluged in directly andme recognisedas a keyboard , also im looking to make a controller with a optical mouse laser built in could you tell me what board is best for that ? thank you
Hello, I have a proyect to build an airplane cockpit. I need to program a lot of buttons, potentiometers and levers. Which Arduino would you recommend me to have the all-encompassing capability?
Is this for a game? You'll need a leonardo and Google something called a button matrix to get all the buttons you need. If it's just a prop, use an Arduino Mega.
I want to make a programmable auto controller for Nintendo Switch, how does the switch recognize the arduino board as a controller when you plug it in? You don't have any videos showcasing that unfortunately, I want to make sure it will work before I spend money on my little project =)

Hello, First of all, thank you for your inspiring work, it could be very helpfull for what i'd like to do in the future. I have no knowledge about electronic or arduino, but i already have many gaming devices ideas i'd like to try. I spend 3 years deeply testing the Steam Controller and i think i know now its every flaws and what should be done to make it better. But to make it real i have to try many mix of gaming devices components and i'd like to know which arduino i should choose to gather them all. I just bought the arduino mega kit to start learning, but as i imagine my gaming devices pretty small in the end, it will be really convenient if only one smaller arduino can make them all work. I did watch your videos, and thanks to them i've already gather few important informations i needed. But i'm french and i may misunderstood few things and i didn't see yet in your channel few components i'd also like to test. Here is a first list of the controller components i'd like to experiment between them and on which i'd like to focus on : - Tactil and clickable pads/buttons but with differents size and shape - Classic buttons - Dual stage Triggers or classic triggers & LB-RB buttons - Gyroscope - Mouse movement detector( I guess its just the optical sensor) - Track ball - Analog stick - D-pad - Battery compartment Also, if you guys know some good online shop where i can buy all these components, it will be great. I've check your website and some adresses you're suggesting, but i didn't find yet few of these component. Maybe i just don't know their correct name, as an electronic component.

Thank you for your time and for your videos that already encourages me a lot.
I use Amazon for all my components. Not sure how competitive Amazon prices are in France. I wrote an introductory guide if you're interested: insertcontrollerhere.com/beginners-guide

Thank you for the video! Quick question, how do you hook up the arduino to the console? Did you hack the game controllers that you have and gave the arduino access to specific pins?
So I use a converter that I got off Amazon. You can find the link to the Titan two on my website insertcontrollerhere.com/my-gear. I realize it's not cheap. The Titan one is available for almost half the cost. Otherwise there are some more experimental projects available on GitHub that directly control the switch via the Arduino microcontrollers.
@@InsertControllerHere Thank you so much for the reply! Actually, a good bit of my job requires me to work with microcontrollers, so this is very interesting to me. I'll definitely take a look!
I'm sure my earlier comment today just exposes my complete lack of knowledge about this kind of stuff. Wouldn't be the first time i was clueless about something so feel free to say so if that's the case. I would like to know . I guess I should have just asked: Is there a way to make a game controller that has a higher level of performance/responsiveness or at least offer better resolution for the potentiometers?
Excellent video ... was hoping to get information on how many buttons/switches/pots/LEDs each "type" (Leonardo, Micro, Uno, Mega) can support? Do these devices show up as an HID (USB controller in Windows 10)?
Interesting question. I know I've seen accessibility controllers that use large some buttons and ones that use foot pedals. I would look into the Xbox One adaptive controller and see what kind of accessories are often paired with that.
Can making your own controller compete with major gaming brands as far as input delay and latency ? I am seriously considering building my own controller to combat the delay I receive on comp fortnite gaming. I have a 2080 super i9900k and I’m quicker than the input on my controller allows.
You can use the Arduino Controller library on github to have it act like a USB controller for windows. The downside is that it will only work with games that support joypad controllers. Otherwise go with an arduino Leonardo or micro to emulate a mouse and keyboard.
True, coding one directly would be the cheapest. But I think the target audience for this video does not have the knowledge or equipment on how to do that. I'm focusing on beginners. Thanks for the advice!
Hi! so stumble in here. Where can i find information on how you are using the analog joystick and how you program them? :) is it possible to program it so they are not as "rough" as i have seen so far, with like lets say drawing a circle and not a edgy round shape. XD (if you move it left it will not fly away super fast.)
Google something called the Arduino joystick library. That will allow you to emulate a generic gamepad on PC that uses analog inputs instead of digital key presses.
I don’t like asking people for help, but I can’t build a custom controller for many reasons and I’m asking if you could maybe make me one and I will pay for it.
Though I do understand what you were trying to convey in the statement, to say the word "knockoff" is actually both inaccurate and inappropriate when applied discusing any Arduino board because unlike the Raspberry Pi and many other similar boards which are often proprietary design, the entire point of the Arduino is itself both designed and directly meant to be an open hardware standard where and such anyone can make their own board (even including those which boards that 100% identical with same parts and design) and that is all perfectly acceptable and encouraged as the second point and purpose of the Arduino is as an educational tool. By definition, that means that all the "other brand" boards conforming to the Arduino standard and keeping compatible are exactly that, their own boards which might be the same or could even be redesigned completely with perhaps substantial upgrades. If someone were wanting to keep the cost down, you could even skip a board entirely and go get the individual components yourself building your own Arduino compatible board. That said, Arduino is the creator of the idea behind the entire coordinated standard and it is good to support them now and then buying their own boards; However, it is indeed not only cheaper but as pointed in the video to get other prebuilt Arduino boards, many of the alternative Arduino compatible boards built by others are often upgraded and improved, easily finding faster boards with better connectors all able to take the same addons as the Arduino directly produced boards
Technically they're not knockoffs. Arduino is totally open source and an open hardware spec. Those companies are just creating compatible boards following the spec.
