ArduinoGamepad

A GamePad HID library for Arduino Pro Micro/Leonardo (ATMega32u4) This library works only on Arduino IDE 1.6.6 or higher!

How to install

Create a new directory named "Gamepad" in Documents > Arduino > libraries, and copy all files from repository into that directory

How to make a Gamepad

http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-LeonardoMicroATMega32u4-As-GamepadGame-Con/

Small example

//Including a library
#include <Gamepad.h>

//Initializing a Gamepad
Gamepad gp;

int buttonIndex = 0;
bool setState = true;

void setup() {

}

void loop() {
  gp.setButtonState(buttonIndex++, setState);
  if(buttonIndex == 16)
  {
    setState = !setState; //negate the value
    buttonIndex = 0;
  }
  delay(500);
}

How to test gamepad

Just try a game what supports a normal GamePad (not X360, if you want to play game whats support only X360, use X360CE)
Or use a Windows Devices "Tester" (where is option to calibrate a GamePad, but I recommending a Arduinos calibration in example project): Go to Control Panel > Devices and Printers and search your device (for me its a Arduino Leonardo) > Right click > Settings of game device > Properties > Test

Functions reference

Gamepad(bool useZRx = false)

Initializing a USB HID Descriptor

boolean useZRx (default false): Z is used to represent the right stick’s X axis, Rx is used to represent the right stick’s Y axis. This doesn’t make sense but this is how most existing USB game pads work. I have tested this using Battlefield Bad Company 2, it works. SOURCE

sendUpdate()

Sending a update report, its not needed to use, its executed automatically

setButtonState(uint8_t button, bool state)

Setting a Button State

uint8_t button - Number of button (0 - 15), Button #1 is 0, Button #2 is 1 etc...
bool state - true is pressed, false is released

setLeftXaxis(uint8_t axis)

Setting an "axis" for Left Thumbstick X Axis

uint8_t axis - a value from -127 to 127, when 0 means center (you must format a values from real Thumbsticks to this ranges)

setLeftYaxis(uint8_t axis)

Setting an "axis" for Left Thumbstick Y Axis

uint8_t axis - a value from -127 to 127, when 0 means center (you must format a values from real Thumbsticks to this ranges)

setRightXaxis(uint8_t axis)

Setting an "axis" for Right Thumbstick X Axis

uint8_t axis - a value from -127 to 127, when 0 means center (you must format a values from real Thumbsticks to this ranges)

setRightYaxis(uint8_t axis)

Setting an "axis" for Right Thumbstick Y Axis

uint8_t axis - a value from -127 to 127, when 0 means center (you must format a values from real Thumbsticks to this ranges)
