If you're using a Linux distribution like Ubuntu, the EyeToy should be supported out of the box. Simply plug it into a free USB port and it should be ready to use. This may differ from distribution to distribution, but with a little searching, you should be able to get it working. All of these uses for it are things that I use it for. Besides my Super Joy Box 5 Pro, I also have an older Super Dual Box. I bought it sometime around the beginning of 2004 to use my two RedOctane Ignition pads on my PC for StepMania. It works fine on my older computer, but when I got my new computer last year I found that there were some problems with it on my new computer. The specific problem is in that to use the DDR-style pads, you need to input a code to change the button assignments internally in the adaptor, but on my new computer the adaptor would sometimes reset itself and make it so the code needed to be put in again; this would happen while playing and was very annoying. Desk: monitors 3x Asus VE248h(eyefinity), Keyboard Cm Strom Trigger(mx red), Mouse Corsair m65, Headset Audio Technica ATH-M50 This "make" and "break" scancode system and "Code" which is the isolated(c & 0xFF) scancode of either the key-press or key-release plays an important part in PS/2 to USB conversion and I recommend you study the other 2 examples that comes with library to get a better understanding if you are planing on improving or changing(remapping keys to different layouts) the final sketch. Also you can get a complete list of PS/2 scancodes from the library by opening either 'PS2KeyAdvanced.h' or 'PS2KeyCode.h' files from '\Documents\Arduino\libraries\PS2KeyAdvanced\src\'

Converting a PS2 controller to a USB controller - TechPowerUp Converting a PS2 controller to a USB controller - TechPowerUp

Oh. By the way, if you don't mind spending a little money you can buy a USB XBOX 360 controller for the PC. They sell them at, well, guess where? ...Wal-Mart! Always low Prices If you like you can skip this step. This is just an explanation for the previous outputs. The output 8 bytes array you saw is formatted according to the above fig.1 You can learn much more about this and also how the modifier keys status byte is written from this wiki about USB-HID. Basically what my code does is each time a new key is pressed (PS/2 protocol refers to this as 'make') it cycle through the last 6 bytes of the array that are used for normal key-presses, and fill in the first empty byte it finds with the relevant 'HID scancode'(Shown as in fig.2 Also you can find a complete list from the attached PDF) for the received 'PS/2 scancode'. And finally when the relevant key is released(PS/2 protocol refers to this as 'break') the code will cycle through the current byte array and clear only the relevant byte. and if you press new key d with value 'nn' without releasing key a or key b your output should change to, Finally you can update the firmware of your Arduino to register it as USB keyboard. For this I'm not going to go into much details as it will make this instructable too long.

EDIT - Actually I have a PC gamepad controller from a while ago, which worked fine until I plugged it into a front panel USB port that was wired up wrongly inside the PC, now when I plug it in it says device not recognised I know you can buy the adapters, and I have seen guides to convert it to gameport, but I am looking for a wiring diagram of Playstation 2 controller to PC USB

Updated driver for (playstation 1/2 to usb windows 10 - Updated driver for (playstation 1/2 to usb

You seem pretty adept, especially if you want to write your own HID driver. But here are some thoughts. http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=...products_id=255 this seems to be the popular choice in the stepmania scene

Are you looking for a way to connect your PS2 controller to your PC? With a few simple steps, you can use your old PS2 controller with the computer you already own. We will provide step-by-step instructions on how to easily and successfully set up a connection between your PS2 controller and PC. Setting Up the Hardware If you have a PlayStation 2 or PlayStation 3, you could pay for them again to play them on your new console, but that's not your only option. You could buy an expensive upscaler like a Framemeister to plug your PS2 into your TV, or you could play those games on your PC. Follow this guide from arduino.cc about 'Updating the Atmega8U2 and 16U2 on an Uno or Mega2560 using DFU' but rather than using ' Arduino-usbserial-uno.hex' use the attched ' Arduino-keyboard-0.3.hex '

PS2 Controller To PC? - Tech Axlon How To Connect PS2 Controller To PC? - Tech Axlon

Actually I have a PC gamepad controller from a while ago, which worked fine until I plugged it into a front panel USB port that was wired up wrongly inside the PC, now when I plug it in it says device not recognised If you ran into errors while updating the firmware from FLIP multiple times, close FLIP and run 'Reset Preferences' from 'Start menu\FLIP\' and then restart FLIP and do the configuration steps before trying again this usually works for me. PS1 and PS2 controllers are pretty much identical. They both use the same serial interface, which is why a direct conversion to USB isn't possible (like it is with an X-Box controller, since it uses a rearranged USB interface).If the device is "hidden" that means Windows thinks it is not connected. Either unplug and replug the device, reboot, or forget about it because it probably isn't the same device. The device strings are different and that comes directly from the device and isn't likely to change. Once you have configured your PS2 controller, it’s time to test the connection. Turn on your PC and start up the software that you installed. Connect the USB cable to the controller and the adapter, and then plug the adapter into your PC. If everything is working properly, the software should recognize the controller and you should be able to use it to navigate your PC. Troubleshooting Tips

OSTENT PS1 PS2 to PC USB 2.0 Controller Adapter Converter

Did you ever wanted use your old PS/2 Keyboard with your laptop or new desktop PC and found out that they don't have PS/2 ports anymore? And then rather than go buy a cheap PS/2 to USB Adapter like a normal person would do, wanted to use your Arduino as a PS/2 to USB Adapter. Then you have come to the right place :)

Directly interfacing a PlayStation 2 controller to USB is a losing proposition. The protocols and hardware are not at all compatible. You're in for way too much work, risk, and pain. The Controller to USB may try to connect as a Serial port and work as an emulated serial port. The driver you installed may have uninstalled the microsoft usbserial driver. This is the usbser.sys driver. It should reinstall itself with a reboot. This would be the case if the device class looks like \Class_02&SubClass_02 Intel Core i7-7700K | EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW | ASUS ROG Strix Z270G Gaming | 32GB G-Skill TridentZ RGB DDR4-3200 | Corsair AX860i WOW im doing sorta college (its not really here but here its more or less the equal) on electricity but i just started so i have little idea. That look likes the chip inside of a USB controller which i would have to hook up the the pins on the controller but 2 things.... Ideally I would create my own driver after sniffing with WireShark, but at the moment I'm unable to sniff, as I can't easily see the data coming in.
