Arduino Pro Micro clone (ATmega32u4)
Hello fellow gamers,
I am new to the forum and waiting for the pats of my GBZ to arrive.
In the world of hacking in electonice im a complete tool/newby but i like the idea of creating my own stuff!
Im 25 and living in the Netherlands and stumbeled on to this awesome forum that gave me ALOT of infomation!
As of now Im looking for the best way to wire my buttons and i came down to a normal button PCB sold here and a Aduino Pro Micro Clone.
I havent buyed the two parts yet as I want some more information before I get them.
Can someone help me and explain how to code the Arduino Pro Micro Clone?
What do i need for it and what code does it use.
Or maybe there are tutorials i could not find.
Im waiting for you reaction in excitement!

Hi there and welcome.
You will need the Arduino IDE Programm, a USB Cable to connect your Arduino Clone to the PC and your Arduino.
That's everything you need to programm it.
I can send you the code i used for programming mine, just send me a PM and i can also help you to go through this whole process.

Ah fleder that will be awesome!!
As you say the arduino itself did you mean i need to get a arduino board? If so what board?
I will PM you in a minute!

get yourself an arduino leonardo pro micro like this:TheNotorious wrote:Ah fleder that will be awesome!!

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201310315804? ... EBIDX%3AIT
then download this:
http://arduino.cc/download_handler.php? ... indows.zip
then extract it and plug in your arduino leonardo pro micro and load up the program and goto tools and select "arduino leonardo" for board
then select the right COM (it should tell you the name of your board) and for programmer select "AVRISP mkII" then your set to flash code to it.
in terms of what we use it for, we use it to act as a usb controller for the buttons we need on the gameboy zero such as up, down, left, right etc.
hope that helps.

Going to order the Arduin Pro Micro tonight so i can "flash" it (thats how you call it right?)
Fleder gave me some help already I realy apreciate the help! M
y orders for my gameboy zero are coming in slowly, the pi arriving today or something. Realy excited in building this one!

Let me know when it comes and I will share my code with you to get it working as a gamepadTheNotorious wrote:Okay that is what im going to do then.RazorX wrote:get yourself an arduino leonardo pro micro like this:TheNotorious wrote:Ah fleder that will be awesome!!

Going to use a 4 button pcb from one of the boards sold here.RazorX wrote:Are you gonna use a 4 button controller pcb made by one of the guys on this forum or do it yourself?
Is that going to work or does it make a difference?
