HID_buttonbox

Button box primarily for flight simulation

Before you look at the code..

The one named "button_box_hardware_test": THIS IS THE AD-HOC HARDWARE-TEST VERSION 0.0.1! This is problably one of the ugliest pice of code you have ever seen (at least from me). Don't judge me...

The finished button box

How the display and leds work

And the hidden mess under the lid...

Code

The code is just the hardware test verison. Using the following libs: ArduinoJoystickLibrary DigitalTube

Really messy schematic, probably correctly wired

This is almost correct:
