Teensy 2.0 as USB Game Controller

Post by Eleecho »

I am trying to put together a portable Raspi gaming device with 2 Joysticks and 14 buttons ( like a PS2/3 controller ).

Trying to avoid simply tearing apart a USB PS2/3 game controller and I am wondering if it's possible to use the Teensy 2.0 for this. I am a complete newb with microcontrollers and programming them, but my searching keeps leading me back to the Teensy. Maybe there's an better alternative to this? I've used a USB Keyboard encoder in the past for an arcade machine but that's a bit bulky, looking for something small like the Teensy.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

The Teensy 2.0 uses an ATmega32u4, which is capable of doing USB, so it's probably a good choice.
