Hello everyone. I am trying to setup my raspberry pi zero has a keyboard device with the gpio's being the catalyst for keypresses. End goal is I'm trying to mod a retro game controller to be a usb controller using my pi zero as the brains.
What I have so far:
following this guide http://www.isticktoit.net/?p=1383 I have the pi zero show up as a USB device and using SSH I can input "echo -ne "\0\0\x4\0\0\0\0\0" > /dev/hidg0 #press the A-button" and my computer will just be doing aaaaaaaaaaaaaa as expected, so cool, we are getting usb input.
Next I followed this guide https://learn.adafruit.com/retro-gaming ... s-software.
And got the stuff installed for registering gpio as key inputs. Now im stuck at the point of how do I translate the gpio retrogame keypresses back through to my computer to be picked up as keypresses?
And im open to easier ways to do this lol.
Thanks!
