Apr 6, 2024 · Hi, i've made a USB button box for flight sim, i use 2 pots, 3 on-off-on switches, 6 on-on switches, all in a 3x3 button matrix. I'm using a Arduino Leonardo board, i used this code (in the bottom of this page), after up…

Connect your Arduino board to your computer by plugging in the USB cable. To upload the code select the Arduino type by going to Tools > Board:... > Arduino Leonardo . To select the correct USB port go to Tools > Port: > COMx (Arduino Leonardo) .

To help with this I thought I would put together an Arduino based button box where the buttons should hopefully fall more easily to hand. As with some of my other projects, I chose to use an Arduino Leonardo due to the built-in USB Human Interface Device (HID) capabilities.

The Arduino Leonardo is a USB 2.0 device which uses USB COM drivers. Unlike the UNO which uses the 328P, this USB feature gives us the opportunity to input programmed button commands into Windows via the USB interface. You can program single button presses or a button combination using software.

An Arduino Leonardo is used to input the button presses to the computer, meaning each button can be programmed to do whatever you like. From keystrokes to mouse commands and joystick commands. You will need

Mar 20, 2022 · As the title states, my 1st "REAL" button box build. I have been using those Zero Stop arcade boards and they are very limited. I used an Arduino Leonardo board,. flashed it with SimHub and was VERY surprised it worked on my 1st shot. Studied diagrams and YouTube videos for over a week before making my 1st attempt.

Aug 20, 2020 · I wanted a button box for IL2 Sturmovik and FS2020. I was gonna use one of Leo Bodnars controllers, but then I found this nice video by wimwamjoey on youtube. He used a cheap Arduino Leonardo controller.

Mar 28, 2016 · You need Atmega32U4 based board - ie Leonardo, Micro, Esplora, Yun or Due and Zero. Only these Adrs can appear as a native Mouse and/or Keyboard to a connected computer.

A button box with 10 Buttons and two push button rotary encoders as buttons 11-16 using an Arduino Leonardo or Pro Micro to host a controller for the button box.

In this Instructable we'll be creating one from scratch. The button box will have 32 (!) available button states. No additional software is required to use this button box. You'll learn how to setup a button matrix and write (or copy) code to upload to your Arduino.
