573controller

This repository houses several Arduino .ino files for use with an Arduino Leonardo or Micro to transform it into music game controller. Supported controllers include:

• _ddr & _ddrTest

Allows you to transform an it into a USB game controller consisting of 4 buttons. The actual machine has 16 sensors (4 for each pad) for input. Use _ddrTest to determine if the indivdual sensors are working.

• _gfxg

Allows you to transform it into a a USB game controller for use with Clone Hero/DTXAL/Guitar Hero/GuitarFreaks/Gitadora. For instructions on how to convert an existing guitar into one, check out 573controller's wiki.

To see the controller in action, do visit APPROVED DTX Gaming over at YouTube, where this live stream specifically shows it in use.

• _iidx

Allows you to transform it into a IIDX controller with full native support for beatmania IIDX INFINITAS.

• _iidx_2p

Similar to _iidx but with buttons remapped from E1/E2 to E3/E4 for use with doubles play (DP). For players using the 2P side for single play, simply modify E3/E4 to E1/E2 button mappings.

For a demostration, do visit nsa_spy99 over at Twitch, where it shows native mapping and performance in-game.

• _sdvx

Allows you to transform it into a SDVX controller with full native support for SOUND VOLTEX III.

Requirements

• Arduino Leonardo or Micro
• Arduino Joystick Library

If you are using _iidx, it additionally requires:

• Quadrature Encoder Library for Arduino
• Replacement of boards.txt located in your Arduino/hardware/avr directory. This allows beatmania IIDX INFINITAS to accept in-game input natively.

If you are using _sdvx, it additionally requires:

• Quadrature Encoder Library for Arduino
• Replacement of boards.txt located in your Arduino/hardware/avr directory. This allows SOUND VOLTEX III to accept in-game input natively.
