The Arduino Leonardo is a USB 2.0 device which uses USB COM drivers. Unlike the UNO which uses the 328P, this USB feature gives us the opportunity to input programmed button commands into Windows via the USB interface. You can program single button presses or a button combination using software.

In this Instructable we'll be creating one from scratch. The button box will have 32 (!) available button states. No additional software is required to use this button box. You'll learn how to setup a button matrix and write (or copy) code to upload to your Arduino.

To help with this I thought I would put together an Arduino based button box where the buttons should hopefully fall more easily to hand. As with some of my other projects, I chose to use an Arduino Leonardo due to the built-in USB Human Interface Device (HID) capabilities.

Apr 6, 2024 · Hi, i've made a USB button box for flight sim, i use 2 pots, 3 on-off-on switches, 6 on-on switches, all in a 3x3 button matrix. I'm using a Arduino Leonardo board, i used this code (in the bottom of this page), after up…

Arduino USB Button Box V2 Now having access to a CNC machine I decided to make another SimRacing button box with hopefully better aligned buttons and also with an ignition key as I had been wanting one for ages :)

Connect your Arduino board to your computer by plugging in the USB cable. To upload the code select the Arduino type by going to Tools > Board:... > Arduino Leonardo . To select the correct USB port go to Tools > Port: > COMx (Arduino Leonardo) .

In today's video we set about to fix this problem by building our own 32 Function Button Box with Rotary Encoders, so we can easily make adjustments to the car's settings such as Fuel Trim,...

How to make a DIY USB button box with encoders. A 32 Function button box for Sim Racing, also suitable for Truck simulator or Flight Sims. Design and build the layout, size and function for your requirements. Based around a Arduino Pro Micro.

May 25, 2020 · I wanted to build a USB Button-Box for Euro Truck Simulator 2, with ignition, buttons and toggles and my research led me to the Pro Micro So this is basically what I'm trying to do (Bottom left is supposed to represent a usual ingition switch.

Arduino Button Box: You might be wondering what is a button box. It is a simple device consisting of four light touch switches, which can be used as input for a computer. The switches sit under each finger so they can be pushed with the tiniest effort and without movi…
