Spend 3 days building my first project and learning electrical engineering from scratch, only to find out I got an Uno R3 clone with a CH340 chip... Below is as far as I got...

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/arduino

  • UnoJoy

    UnoJoy! allows you to easily turn an Arduino Uno (or Mega or Leonardo) into a PS3-compatible USB game controller

  • I have no clue how it works because its all included in the instructions of UnoJoy.

  • vJoySerialFeeder

    Feed Virtual Joystick driver with data from a serial port

  • Or you could use serial to feed a virtual joystick device (https://github.com/Cleric-K/vJoySerialFeeder)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • hairless-midiserial

    Discontinued Lightweight cross-platform GUI-based MIDI/Serial bridge

  • If you want to make MIDI controllers with your clone board you can do the same thing with Hairless MIDI

  • DS4Windows

    DS4Windows - Tool to use PS4/PS5 Controller on Windows 10 PC. Open Source Input Mapper (by ds4windowsapp)

  • If you want to test Playstation based controllers I suggest using DS4-Windows. Its a small software that has certified drivers and allows you to use Playstation controllers like the Dualshock 4 and the Dualsense on your computer in an almost plug and play style after the short and easy setup. And if you want you can edit the controls however you like and whatnot, the edit bindings section also offers visual monitoring for things like the analog sticks, triggers and motion sensors, you can even control the forcefeedback triggers of the Dualsense and control the LED color of Dualshock 4 and Dualsense controllers!
