keyboard_and_mouse

About

This is an Arduino sketch file that lets you use your Arduino as a keyboard and mouse, via USB.

Requires the following:

• 4x4 keypad:
• 5-pin joystick:

(I'm using an Arduino Leonardo, but any Arduino should work)

Pressing keys on the keypad will trigger corresponding keyboard events, and using the joystick will trigger mouse events. You can also "click" (L3/R3) on the joystick, which will simulate the left-mouse button.

Wiring

Here's how my components are connected.

Joystick

Joystick "GND" <--> Arduino "GND"
Joystick "+5V" <--> Arduino "5V"
Joystick "VR_x" <--> Arduino "A0"
Joystick "VR_y" <--> Arduino "A1"

Keypad

Keypad "R1" <--> Arduino "12"
Keypad "R2" <--> Arduino "11"
Keypad "R3" <--> Arduino "10"
Keypad "R4" <--> Arduino "9"
Keypad "C1" <--> Arduino "8"
Keypad "C2" <--> Arduino "7"
Keypad "C3" <--> Arduino "6"
Keypad "C4" <--> Arduino "5"

Dependencies

You'll need to install the Arduino 'Keypad' library: https://playground.arduino.cc/Code/Keypad/
