Gc+ alternative for raspberry pi?

[Ollie]

I am making a raspberry pi powered project, and I wondered if there is a chip like the gc+ I can connect all my buttons and sticks to.

You can use a teensy as an USB joystick

Thanks for the help ill take a look

have you gotten it to work?
I'm having issues with the joystickmalfunctioning as soon as I add other buttons

If you want a plug and play solution, I've put my code on github: https://github.com/dmcke5/Ardupad

It is for an atmega32u4 based arduino board though (such as the Arduino Micro), not a teensy.

Ah big thanks!
I've got both in spare so I'll defenitely look at it soon

would it work with the teensy 2 or 2++ as there both atmega32u4 based?

Probably? As long as they are fully supported in Arduino then it shouldn't be a problem I guess. The question really will be over the library that I've used and if it is compatible with the board. If you've got one handy, give it a go for us and report back if it works!

thanks, I do have a Teensy 2 and 2++, will try and give it a go this weekend if I get time, the 2++ is nice because of all the extra pins

I tried compiling it for the teensy 2 but as you thought the joystick library is not compatible, I think its the PluggableUSB.h and DynamicHID.h that do not work with the teensy, shame!

I did a quick google search and it does look like it wouldn't be hard to modify the code to work with a Teensy. This link gives a bit of an example: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_joystick.html
Based on that link, I'm pretty sure all you'd need to do is comment out the joystick library and change the function calls for setting buttons and the POV hat. The calls to set joystick positions look like they would work just fine as is.

If I had one in front of me I'm sure I could have the code running on it in a couple of minutes.

if you wanted to modify your code I would be happy to test it out on the teensy 2 and ++?

Can you use a gc+ on a pi

 

[sinjunx]

I've been able to get an alternative to work, being the junglecat Razer Controller.
All that needs to be done, is to make sure you connect to it, a first time in advance using the debian base os, then later you can use it with start at boot in retropie, retro arch and others.
