Il est très bien ce projet.
I was DIYing the SAMCO lightgun, when I came across your project. I think I'll change for your lightgun project ;D
I'm going to use an Arduino Pro Micro that I already have. From what I understand, you have to choose between the DPad and the RGB led. What is this LED for?

Merci :cheers:
So the RGB is one of the optional feedbacks you can have, to either use as basic fire/reload or synchronized with in game feedback.
Yes you will need to choose between this and the dpad, as the pro micro doesn't have enough pins.
If you want to have everything (dpad and all feedbacks) at the same time, then you can use a full size micro board or a modded teensy 2.0.

JayBee: PM me if you happen to see this and I can let you know the transaction details.

I sent everything already, if you haven't received anything yet please check your email box spam folder. If it's still not there, feel free to contact me in pm.

If I find a way to release 3 pins, will you make another version? ;)
My idea is the following:
I don't need Bluetooth HID, so 2 free pins. For the third pin we can combine the right and left DPad on the same pin A10 and read this pin in analog. 0V is left, 5v is right and 2.5V neither are on.

I am not doing custom versions on demand, for optimisation purpose and because I use a lot of the pins special functions, everything is hardwired in each version.
Resistor ladders are also very unreliable, have far more cpu and memory overhead, slowing down the code and adding latency, and would require me to rewrite my whole input management code around it.
Doing a custom version like that would cost me way more in work than it would cost you to buy a full micro board that has everything integrated already :lol
That being said, if you are not interested in RGB led out, you already have everything you need there.

No problem, I'll buy a new board or ditch the DPad.
By the way, the Teensy 2.0 is a discontinued board. Have you thought about porting your code to more recent Tennsy?
I just sent you $20

It's discontinued but you can still find plenty of clones online ;)
I use it because it's the same chipset as the micro and pro micro, it allows me to still use the same AVR Studio (I'm not using arduino IDE).
Same issue, if I wanted to port the code to a more recent teensy, I'd have to rewrite the entire firmware from scratch to make it compatible.
