arduino-pc-joystick

Source code for an arduino gamepad using the Funduino JoyStick Shield.

Components used:

  • Arduino Uno
  • Funduino JoyStick Shield

Instructions

  1. Upload the Arduino sketch to an Arduino with a JoyStick shield attached to it.
  2. Modify Funduino-JoyStick.py with your Arduinos port name (for example /dev/cu.usbmodem1461)
  3. Run python Funduino-JoyStick.py

How it works

Arduino

Gathers the button states (7 buttons + joystick x/y) and constructs a data frame. This frame is sent via Serial over to a PC running a python script.

Python

The script is listening for incoming data from the Arduino. Whenever it detects a new frame, it will extract the values for joystick x/y and all the button states. It will convert the button pushed to computer input using the library pyautogui.

According to pyautogui, it should work cross platform. I have however only tested on MacOS.
