homepage Forums Technology Flight Sim Pit Builders MMJoy/MMjoy2 - Set your own USB controller with a cheap Arduino

.
Yes the IDE is the same thing, but you can use the Drivers in the MMJoy Folder if you don't need or want the whole IDE.

I am not sure why the Windows Controller App isn't seeing it , hopefully Sokol1 will have some insight for you....

Alright, tested on my laptop, they are properly detected there too, can view the axis and the react correctly in the windows game controllers.

Ive tried switching the driver from HID game controller to HID device and that does nothing.

EDIT: Tried removing ALL things under USB controllers from my device manager and then rebooted so that should all have been reinstalled, no change.

You need to find the problematic device Registry entry. (inside Windows Registy) and delete it.

Or/and you can try setting Poll at "-" when you configure the mmjoy2

Had a thought......any chance you have duplicated the USB VID and PID numbers in MMjoy by accident and this is causing the Conflict seen in the Windows Controller Panel?

Your joystick and Pedals don't have the same PID for example do they? same VID is ok as that is the Manufacturer's (You) number but the PIDs need to be Unique.

Arduino drivers is only necessary for bootloader process.

This error in game controller is related with VID/PID and/or controller name.

You have formatted your C: or re-install windows over a previous install?

In this case, try clear you MMJoy2 controller name from register.

And test controller axes buttons with VKB Joytester and Button Tester before look in Games Controllers.

Hey, sup Meg, So is it usable? should I set it as MCP3202 on the MMjoy?

I had done a full reformat of my system partition.

Going through my windows registry and deleting all references the specific vid/pid fixed it, Thanks guys!

Hello,

What is the best firmware for ProMicro? I'm just going to need 7 axes.

The last available is [v20161101] but in previous pages the [v20160818] was recommended (I suppose [v20160818upd1]).

Thanks and best regards

That was probably me, as 20161101 didn't work properly for me displaying button numbers etc so I went back to 20160818 and have no problems since (1yr?)

Is there any guide to install the firmware? I have the PDF "Pro-micro-instructions" but I do not know if there is something simpler.

Could it be installed only with a micro-USB cable?

Thanks again

What device do you want to use?.... I use Arduino Micro Pro (clone) and you only need that usb cable. What part do you find difficult in the instructions? It's super simplified and clear in that pdf.

Yes, USB cabble with micro connector is required, is the only that fit in Arduinos.
Anyway this cable is need to connect the Arduino in computer after flash and he became a "joystick controller", no way to skip their use.

How flash is well explained in this video

And in this topic:

More simple than this only if buy a read to use board, like available in Taobao China.

hello Sokol, any ideas??? i got 2 ps3 4pin thumbstick that i can use

check this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOEgPfLNs0w

Hi again,

I´d tried tutorial but it doesn´t works for me. I'm probably doing something wrong or the pro micro does not work well. Next a video:

What is wrong?

You need to press reset twice.. and the press isn't too long. Like a regular double click in your mouse.

Well, I done .

Thanks very much

It is this exact moment, while on Com6 in your case, ( usually you have 8 seconds) , in MMjoy2 on the Firmware Tab to hit Upload Firmware.

With Device Manager Open it is easy to see when the Port No# changes after the Double Tap on the Reset button .....

Yes, I did. I read the pdf better

Anyway, the 20160818 firmware gives some kind of error. The firmware 20151118 and 20161101 are loaded without problem.

Sorry I don't read Spanish but from the Picture it looks like the Joystick is not selected when you tried to flash the Firmware, the Icon is still red.....it will go blue when selected

The translation would be something like (in red):

"avrdude.exe: ser_drain(): read error: The I / O operation has been aborted due to a thread exit or an application request"

If I change only the location of the firmware, its upload works perfectly.
