The first diy project I want to share is a mouse and keyboard to ps3 converter.
The hardware part is made of a usb development board called “Teensy++”:
It is available at: http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/
The mouse and the keyboard are directly wired on pins of the Teensy++ (both are ps/2 devices).
The Teensy++ is connected to the ps3 and acts as a standard ps3 usb hid controller.
The software part is mostly code written by Rick for its XBOX360 controller:
Conception steps:
1/ I modified the usb hid keyboard example available at http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/usb_keyboard.html so as to make a usb hid joystick recognized by the ps3.
2/ I transplanted it into Rick’s code.
3/ I wrapped mouse and keyboard buttons to joystick buttons.
4/ I wrapped x and y mouse movements to joystick z and rz axis.
5/ I made some calibration tests to adapt mouse movements to thumbstick movements.
Step 5 is not yet finished, I’m working on improvements.
I will share all hardware and software details as soon as possible. As my controller is working, I currently spend a lot of my free time playing farcry with it 😉
Good Idea !
but…
playing Farcry is bad ^^
I know, I should take more time blogging details.
Possible to por for PIC18F4550 ?. you make hex for PIC18F ?
