Newbie needing help, please. How to make a basic USB input button

Pages: << < (5/6) > >>

Hi,

Well, if it works out, I would like to be able to sell what I make to other people, so I was trying to avoid selling someone else's stuff to them.

Don't they make simplified boards what have a pre-programmed USB controller built right on them?  All I think I would need is one with a USB output and a place to wire some inputs from the button.
If it could be as simple as wiring the 3 components together then that would not be too diffucult and would be worth my effort.
If it were much more complicated than that, then I would agree that it is probably not worth the hassle.  I suppose that is why I am trying to figure out exactly what would need to be done - so I can figure out if it is worth it or not.

I'll see if I can find the book you recommend, but I was hoping for an "abridged" set of directions.

Thanks!
Juggernaut

Hi,

Do you have any good sites to recommend for buying an inexpensive USB keyboard controller?

Thanks,

Here's an inexensive toggle on/toggle off foot switch you could easily hack to a keyboard (or keyboard encoder).
