How To Program The Pro Micro As A USB Gamepad Controller With Arduino

[tinkerBOY]

I made an easy-to-follow tutorial on how to program/flash the Pro Micro as a USB gamepad controller. Tutorial works on the latest Arduino IDE software.

Hey Tinkerboy,

i have tried your guide but i get an error :

Arduino: 1.8.5 (Windows Store 1.8.10.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

Specified folder/zip file does not contain a valid library

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

*EDIT*

I got it working, i unpacked the Joystick.zip file into my library and installed it the manual way.


Friendly Regards Beautje

Yes I will soon update the code.

Yes I will soon update the code.

I have one tinkerboard 2.2. Is the arduino clocked with 16Mhz or 8?

It configured to use an external 16mhz clock crystal. Using the internal 8mhz for USB purpose is almost impossible to get it to work.

so its required to run it with 5V.

Is it possible to set one of the pro micro's to send button push instructions for three toggle switches when they are flipped on or off need a single button press.
