# Arduino-USB-HID-RetroJoystickAdapter
# 🕹️ Arduino-USB-HID-RetroJoystickAdapter 🕹️
## What is this?
Very cheap and quite easy way to connect many non-USB joysticks and gamepads or DIY arcade cabinet controller to almost any machine with USB-port and HID-support. Arduino board with ATmega32u4 chip with help of Joystick-library does all the USB-work.
Tested with Windows and Linux desktop computers and ARM based computers like Raspberry Pi and Orange Pi.

### Time to Enjoy 🕹️
### Time to Enjoy
#### MS Windows
- You should go now to `Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items > Devices and Printers (some Windows versions in Game Controllers)` and try to find `Arduino Leonardo` device. Right click on `Gamepad controller definitions` > double click in one of the options (1st is the controller one, and the 2nd is the controller two) and you can now test the buttons.
##### Notice With Windows!
If you move adapter to other Windows machine, you may have to install the arduino drivers. To have the last updated ones, just download the file `Windows ZIP file for non admin install` from the page https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software. After the download, unzip the folder. Go to the `Computer` > right click > `Manage > Device Manager > Unknown devices` > right click > `Update Driver Software > Browse my computer for software > Browse...` > and try to find the folder `\arduino-1.6.xx\drivers` inside the folder you unziped before. Click `Next` and Windows should install the driver. Arduino would apper as the name `Arduino Leonardo` inside `Ports (COM and LPT)` with an associated COM port (like `COM9` for example).
