Agreed.  Seems like there should be a pinout for the Pro Micro on the card you mentioned earlier.

I don't remember seeing JayBee's custom Pro Micro pinout posted in his GUN4IR thread, but it probably looks like this one that Slybunda made using the template I posted here for JayBee.



Also, have you tried joining his Discord server that I mentioned in my earlier post?

Thank you so much.  I was able to locate the User Guide in an email from JB that I had missed when I first purchased the DIY kit.  It has a lot of helpful details and the exact pinout for the controls.  It shows a diagram that's similar to what you posted.  I've attached my version below.

I hope to devote a few hours to this later in the week.  I'll post an update with my experience.

Regards,

Rolyen

As much as I'd like to support JayBee's project, I would presume that dropping $150 on a DYI kit would include basic information to..DYI.  Hopefully it doesn't require an additional "donation" to get more information.

yes it is included, it cames with the license you got in your email box ;)

Edit: nevermind, you found it :D

Thanks JayBee, yes, I was able to locate it.

I was playing around with the wiring, and from what I can tell, the keypad at the back of the guncon 2, and the "magazine" button at the bottom are pretty easy to rewire to the Arduino.

However, some of the side buttons press down on integrated sensors directly on the Guncon 2 original PCB, and I'm unclear on how to change this.  It seems that I'd have to either figure out a way to capture the signal for these side sensors through the PCB integrated circuits, or create some kind of 3d printed parts to install my own micro buttons just in the right locations.  Wondering if anyone has experience with this?
