Seems to work okay- similar to running the WASD layout on a computer keyboard so far.

I'm on hold right now while I get the plywood base together, hopefully I'll get some more done when I get back from being out of town this weekend.

Dude nice score!  I gotta start shopping at your Goodwill.

meh, you do what you can to make it work sometimes. 

i have a bunch of Minimus AVR boards that i got back in the Kade days... 10 some odd years back, that are already setup to take pin signals going low and turn them into various keyboard key presses. (all configurable) shows up as a USB keyboard to windows. shame they didn't do more... it's was looking like a solid project.

in any case, a program called "atmel flip" will update the bootloader of your arduino so you can upload a keyboard HID file into it, so it just boots directly to HID mode. https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Make-a-Arduino-HID-Keyboard/

Probably. My ring config is p1->p2->p3->p4...->p8->p1. No alternating in any weird order or anything.

It's getting built in the room. Everything was designed to be disassembled. The panels are all sitting in it's final resting place right now, just setting up a paint booth outside and they'll be sprayed and moved back in before assembly. It'll be setup right next to my DrumMania setup I built last year

Nice 

It would seem the DE10 Nano is overkill for this use. But we're not aware of any other smaller/cheaper board that doesn't lack something fundamental.

There's a project now to release a clone that uses the same cyclone chip for $99.

I am planning to move over to GroovyMister with one of these if they pan out

Beautiful

Thank you! Then it is probably just a misconfiguration, will look into it.

Have you tried playing games with those 4 buttons for directional control?

It does not seem like it will function like a D pad. A D pad is small enough to just roll your thumb over.

Vanguard has a button layout like that for shooting. It totally sucks.

I hope it works okay for you.
