UNOJOY PC/OSX/PS3 ARDUINO UNO

I am lucky enough to have a 1500sq foot cabinet shop that I can use for my own projects when I do not have a pesky customer cluttering up the place

And the commute is not too bad, it is across the driveway from my house, lol.

And of course I am especially lucky to have such a supportive wife (even if she does shake her head in perplexity when I tell her what I am going to build next).

In the long run, I do wish I had to ask a lady whether I could build one I have my fingers crossed that I may one day find a lady who is interested in Sims!!! I may have to start a new thread about this

You do not have to find one that is interested in Sims, just one that is tolerant of your interest in Sims

very true wise man. But secretly it would be pretty awesome to come home and my lady friend has sketched up some Arduino code, or go shopping and bring home a new steering wheel

ya dreaming mate. Mine has said on many occasions " You should have married that wheel instead of me, your hands spend more time on it than me."
Oh well its a balancing game, lol.

i have been playing with unojoy, but i can never use more than 2 analog imputs, when i it made to be used with 4 analog imputs... i have an arduino in a drawer waiting for some one to resolve the issue..

if any one have this issue and a solution please let me know

best regards

Ferslash, you might try the Teensy++2.0 board instead. It is a native HID complaint controller. 12 analog inputs and 40(ish) DX button inputs. Or you can program it to be pretty much anything you want it to be.

Cheaper than an Arduino as well. I have used more than a dozen of them to create custom gaming devices.

The Arduino code to make the Teensy++2.0 into a joystick. The credit for this goes to Tripod of the Hornetpits.org forum.

Bahaha!! your an honest man eaorobbie as long as you were simming before you met her, she would have to have known that it was part of the package!

I like the teenst board another 8bit friend of mine I think I shall grab one thank you!

Sorry ferslash, I havnt actually got mine out and started testing. I have a couple of other projects taking up my time at moment plus I just use my g27 for now but im looking forward to building a wheel later on down the track. but the teensy++2.0 board looks like it could be a great little board! Cheers Historiker for that.

I think I might vote the Teensy++ boards king!!!!!

You can edit that ardiuno sketch to add two more joystick axis. But make sure you edit it for the exact number that you will have connected or you will get errors when using the axis (it will look for those "ghost" axis).

Sorry for getting this thread off topic. Perhaps we should start a "Teensy++2.0" thread?

thanks for the intel historiker im all good with the post. I totally forgot that I also have a jc32 usb from symprojects. I think I have seen axis controls in the config setup? I wish I was an octopus!! id be able to get all of my projects done!! I have this funny sence that the Arduino will be a good platform for a steering wheel

It might, but isn't the Arduino analog 8 bit? Meaning they will have 255 positions over the travel of the pot where the Teensy is 10bit and gives you 1024 positions over the travel of the same pot.

Yeah but look at my name Historiker it kinda fits me better I thought the teensy++2.0 and 3.0 are 8bits and ++4.0 is 12 or 16? I could be wrong though..

I did not know they had ever produced a Teensy 4?

The AVR processor is 8 bit but it has a 10bit analog to digital convert (ADC). .To be honest I have not real idea what that means, lol. I do know that the analog inputs are 10 bit because when I calibrate my axis they register as 1024 steps.

thanks for the tensy advise, i will check it, on the other hand, yes, i have been playing around with the code to add another axis, but no success

- yes, i wish to be an octopus too, i wish i where 19 years old with a lot of time to waste

What do mean 19?? im 34 and spend every second I can on my sim gear!! when I was 19 I was only interested in one thing... clubbing! only sims I played were games at the arcade like Daytona usa ferslash you just need to get your priorities straight long live the SIMULATOR!!!!

Going by the accent on that clip Rene, Sparta is obviously somewhere in Scotland.
