USB microcontroller project

Post by jjschwartz »

I'm trying to build a device that can 'import' some keypresses into my PC for a game I'm writing. (Think Jeopardy and three player buzzers.)<p>Currently, I scavenged a Gravis USB controller and solder my pushbuttons across the button connections of the PC board of the controller.<p>But this can be cumbersome and the form factor is limiting. It seemed to me that this would be a simple microcontroller project (3 buttons in; USB out) but, after scouring the Internet, I couldn't find any leads.<p>Does anybody have any advice on how to proceed?<p>TIA.

you can use ft232bm usb-rs232 converter between your microprosessor and PC. and then you must write a suitable program into your uP.
