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. @@ -98,13 +99,13 @@ Example of NES-controller wiring: - If you got the message "all done" and no errors, your done here. -### 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.
