ArduinoXInput VS Arduino-AppleMIDI-Library

I am currently trying to create a controller for windows that shows up as an Xbox 360 controller or some other game compliant HID controller. I initially tried following this tutorial, however, the code provided does not work for my purpose because it includes all the buttons of a normal controller whereas I just need a joystick input, and one button. Can someone help me write code using the ArduinoXinput that programs 1 joystick and 1 button input on the Arduino Pro micro?

There are arduino libraries that’ll work with boards like the teensy and pro nano - https://github.com/dmadison/ArduinoXInput

I would of thought xinput would work on Steam? Pretty sure my 8bit duo uses xinput

I ended up purchasing some Arduini clones on Amazon and losing this: https://github.com/dmadison/ArduinoXInput

define "profile" a set of associations from digital/analog pins to logical joystick button, joystick axis (both traditional and xinput, I saw there's a library to support that https://github.com/dmadison/ArduinoXInput), keyboard button, mouse button, mouse movement identifiers.

Did you follow all the instructions to use this library, found here?

Well a simple option would to use a library that makes a arduino act like xbox 360 controller. Like This One and use the map function in the coding to spread out the pots signals accordingly

I'll post the whole thing in a separate message. I've already modified it a little, because there seems to be a quirk in the rtpMIDI implementation that seems to not send a second MIDI message if two of the same type are sent in sequence in the program. Even a few milliseconds delay between them seems to fix it. Here's the github link to the original.

Changing the order of libraries didn't change anything. BUT with that in mind, I tried disabling one of the libraries I wasn't using at the moment: AppleMIDI. The flashing mostly stopped. It flashed for a few times in the beginning, and then stopped almost completely.

Just a thought, in a future build you could go totally wireless (theoretically) if you use: - an ESP8266 or ESP32 with wireless MIDI and - MIDI mixer on Windows.

Just FYI, network MIDI is a thing and you may want to look into it if you haven't before.

As a bonus, the controller I'm using (ESP-01) also has Wi-Fi, so I added on the AppleMIDI library for receiving wireless MIDI (and sending, too, if I so choose). As a final touch I added VirtuinoCM to switch between 3 modes: - MIDI-response - some generic animations - manual colour control.

This is the sketch that worked for me pretty much out of the box. Mac OS has built-in support for Wi-Fi MIDI, but in Windows you'll need to install rtpMIDI. Once the Arduino sketch is loaded and running, rtpMIDI is installed, and both the computer and ESP32 are connected to the same network, the ESP32 should show up in the rtpMIDI control panel.
