Video Game Controller With Arduino

Ever wanted to create a video game controller for playing your favorite game? Or perhaps even a rapid fire button allowing you to pres a computer button 100 times a second. Well, in this instructable I’m going to show you how to create a video game controller (for a game on the PC/Comp). This controller is customizable as per your game and can be made with any Arduino. The difference between many other such implementations and this one is that most implementations are restricted to only 32u4 based boards (micro, leonardo etc) whereas this will allow more common Arudino uno and nano. This is because the typical implementations directly use Arduino libraries to simulate keyboard functions, while this uses an additional “Processing” program to talk to Arduino and do the work.”
