HID VS UnoJoy

I don't think the built-in keyboard library identifies itself as "boot capable" in the HID descriptor, which is necessary for simpler keyboard devices. Try using NicoHood's HID library with the "BootKeyboard" object.

Looks great! How did you handle the programming? Did you follow a guide, or did you implement the Arduino HID Project library?

Skip the esp then and pick up any dev board supported by the HID project.

You can make it act like a HID - which is what I assume many people have done - with custom drivers like this one. https://github.com/NicoHood/HID

You can use Arduino HID Project which allows to reprogram atmega16u2 which performs USB communications on Uno. Then you can upload HID sketch on 16u2 and "normal" code on atmega328 which would do everything and send desired wheel state via serial. On 16u2 side you will parse that serial command from 328 and translate it into HID message

I'm trying to grab the "microphone muted" LED status from the HID library, but it seems like the library only supports a select few statuses out of the box: https://github.com/NicoHood/HID/issues/151

Nano (atmega328) doesnt have native USB support (just a USB to UART converter). UNO also doesnt have native USB support, but has a atmega16U2 on board. You can flash this chip and build a USB HID bridge -> https://github.com/NicoHood/HID/

Try using NicoHood's HID project and the system key page: https://github.com/NicoHood/HID/blob/master/examples/System/System.ino

I am trying to make the arduino work as an Human Interface Device (HID) for a gaming steering wheel that I am trying to revive, so it would work as a plug and play gamepad. I am shorting the pins in red in this image. I found the Unojoy from their github page here, as far as I understood it is a commonly known library for this kind of project. My main problem with this project is to transform arduino input into game input, thats why I am using a library that should make the arduino pretend to be a gamepad or something of the kind.

I have an Arduino Mega set up with (UnojoyMegajoy)[https://github.com/AlanChatham/UnoJoy], it works pretty well.

There’s also the UnoJoy method, which involves reflashing the firmware on the Mega’s usb controller chip to act as a HID https://github.com/AlanChatham/UnoJoy

UnoJoy

I'm scratch building a dashboard for SnowRunner which I also hope to use for American Truck Simulator, Euro Truck Simulator, Construction Simulator, etc. My current proof of concept includes potentiometers and buttons connected to an Arduino Mega 2560 running UnoJoy over USB to Windows 10 to Toca Edit's X360ce.

I've never used it on console. The project seems abandonned but it was compatible with PS3 https://github.com/AlanChatham/UnoJoy

STEP 5: upload the code to the arduino, my code is: https://pastebin.com/SM1wJ5tk this code is based in UnoJoy project here: https://github.com/AlanChatham/UnoJoy

If it thinks it's an Uno, you can use UnoJoy. It's not quite as easy to use as guitar configurator and may require you to change some values in the code to match pins up
