I've been busy with buildung my custom controller for the last couple of days, and proudly introduce to you the:





the build was pretty easy, and especially cheap.

there is also room for another four analog controls (eg faders, knobs).

feel free to ask questions or give me feedback on this!

interesting, which translator do you use?

i have the same problem with the hat switch in my controller, but, you can take advantage of it...

for instance, you can ad more key combinations with the diagonal directions, i did that in my project.

just keep in mind that down + up will not work and that down + left = left/down and so on...

again, rejoice seams to be the best software to work with...

fergo is great but no hat switch...

Thats brilliant! Really handy tutorial. I've wanted to build one of these for a while but was a bit daunted as I know nothing of electricals. These pics have convinced me to get cracking.
Cheers

oh I'm sorry... I didn't notice that

By the way - I believe then there is no way to avoid this conflict, because the gamepads are described as "2 Analog Sticks + 12 Buttons"

thx, just read your thread on the german community , nice work there.

as far as i can see, you only use 12 buttons + 4 analogs from your gamepads.

i also use the 4 directions from the d-pad as buttons, what drives me into that conflict!

I am using Fergos HID to Midi, it is the only (free) one which allows me to use more than one gamepad at the same time. I postet a link in the Midi-Program thread.

following thing happens:

press "left" button -> "left"-midi is high
press "right" button -> "right"-midi is high

press "left" button -> "left"-midi is high
+press "right" button -> "right"-midi is low, and "left"-midi is low

nice one man - good to see someone has actually constructed a gamepad midifighter from start to finish. Interesting that certain combinations of arcade buttons won't work at the same time due to the gamepad not accepting certain directions on the d-pad simultaneously... certainly the first time I've heard about this and it's a worthwile disadvantage to be aware of.
