Complete NOOB building Simulator Pedals

[jcwalsh]

Hello all,

I am trying to incorporate a analog 0-5v output pedal into my simulator. I assume my PC will just read the USB as another HID?

Thanks,

Jeff

.. What simulator is this?

Also the Teensy can only read 0->3.3V. You'll have to voltage divide

Teensys can present themselves towards the PC as a Keyboard+Mouse+Joystick device, so with a bit of code and a voltage divider (to get the 5V range down to 3.3V) you can convert the simulator pedals to a joystick axis.

How your Teensy appears to your PC while running your program is configured from Arduino's Tools > USB Type menu. The default is Serial, so you'll almost certainly want to change it to one of the other options.
