Arduino-Micro-Mini-Gamepad

This project uses the hitletgo promicro (atmega32u4). I used this mcu because it has an hid (human interface device) library and it is cheap. This project was inspired from my previous fightstick project, which used the tiva c tm4c123 https://github.com/SnrNotHere16/ArcadeStickWithScreen

My motivation was to create a fightstick that I could play fighitng games like Street Fighter. Although my fight stick worked perfectly on emulators, it did not register properly on Steam. Because I could not get the fightstick to work, I figured that if I created a hid keyboard device then steam should be able to register the commands properly.

Arduino-Micro-Mini-Keyboard on Steam

Here is an image of me using the gamepad on Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection

Here is an image of the keys assigned to each button though I may change this in the future.

I decided to incorporate a keyboard that uses the arrow keys instead of "awsd" as well.

First PCB image

I sent the gerber files from circuit maker to JLCPCB and got my board printed out and shipped.
