HID_Buttons VS ArduinoXInput

Make sure you have the Arduino Joystick library installed as well as, say, the HID_Buttons library.

You need status checks on all of your keyboard outputs, just like the nPressed values for the analog axes. You can create values for each input, but there are libraries that make it easier.

You can simplify the press/release logic by sticking that into a function, or better yet build a class to manage the output state. You could also use a library.

This (obviously) gets tedious. You can use various libraries to make your life easier:

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
