CONVERTING ARDUINO INTO A GAME CONTROLLER

1 – Make sure your Arduino has an Atmel chip Download and install the Arduino Software
https://www.arduino.cc/en/software

Download and install FLIP (including JRE)


https://www.microchip.com/Developmenttools/ProductDetails/FLIP

Download UnoJoy and unpack it


https://github.com/AlanChatham/UnoJoy
https://www.mediafire.com/file/2e1jgt2nra2g6q1/UnoJoy.rar/file

Connect your arduino to your PC via USB


2 – Check if your Arduino has DFU mode pins
Open the Arduino software and load the attached “PedalJoy2021” code into your arduino

“Short” the 2 DFU pins with a metal piece (key, screw, etc)

Navigate to \UnoJoy\UnoJoy-master\UnoJoy and load TurnIntoAJoystick.bat***

Disconnect and connect the USB cable. Windows should now recognize as a joystick

Open window’s native game controller manager and calibrate it

***if an error message appears (AtLibUsbDfu.dll not found), there’s a quick fix
