    Looks like that one used SPI_MODE0 where I guessed SPI_MODE3 in the other one.
    MSBFIRST/LSBFIRST tells SPI the order of the bits, that is if I output an 0x01 are the bits output: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 or is it 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    (Most Significant Bit first) or (Least Significant bit first)

    I believe you can just do something like joysitck.button(13, joyBtnState);

    Thank you.


    Reading on SPI's, is 1000Hz vs 4000MHz going to make a difference to the functions?

    Is windows Power Management more liekly to step in an power off the device if there's a slwoer rate?

    I get ZERO output from htis.

    Compiles nicely, uploads nicely. Is readable via usbviewer, recognised as a windows device...
    Doesn't do anything else. No button presses registered.

    There are 2 versions of this original sketch, both of which contain

    Code:
    #include <SPI.h>
    #include <Joystick.h>
    
    Joystick_ Joystick(
      JOYSTICK_DEFAULT_REPORT_ID, JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAMEPAD, 14, 0,
      false, false, false, false, false, false,
      false, false, false, false, false); 
      
    const int slaveSelectPin = 7;
    Is this necessary? Can it be replicated TeensyLC?

  5. #30
    Googled 'arduino, bit2btn' ... just turned up a goldmine:

    once again using:

    "
    Joystick_ Joystick(
    JOYSTICK_DEFAULT_REPORT_ID, JOYSTICK_TYPE_GAMEPAD, 21, 1, // 21 buttons, 1 hatswitch
    false, false, false, false, false, false,
    false, false, false, false, false);
    "

     * So thank you both :-)
     * Enhancements: 
     *  - supports hot swapping of Thrustmaster R383, F1 and Ferrari 599xx wheels
     *  - all buttons are working
     *  - button numbering is the same as when the wheels are on a Thrustmaster base
     *    (paddles are always buttons 1 and 2 for example)
     *    
     * V1.01 October 2022: tiny bug fixed, 'button pressed' was sent continuously over USB as long as
     * a button was pressed (telling 'button pressed' once is enough)

          for(int b=0; b<8; b++)     //one bit at a time
            if((currBytes[i] & pos[b])!=(prevBytes[i] & pos[b])) {  // if the buttonstate has changed
              btnState=currBytes[i] & pos[b];        
              if ((bit2btn[(i*8)+b] >= 31) and (bit2btn[(i*8)+b] <= 34)) {   // hatswitch (Dpad) pressed?
                if (btnState == 0)               // button released?
                  Joystick.button(13, joyBtnState);      // send the update     
          
          }
    
      if ((wheelIdentified) and (wheelID == 3)) {                         // only for R383 wheel
        joyBtnState = (currBytes[3] & pos[0]) && !(currBytes[2] & 0x3c);  // if hatswitch is pressed in the middle
        if (joyBtnState != prevJoyBtnState)
          Joystick.button(13, joyBtnState);                            // press button 14
      }
      
      for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
        prevBytes[i] = currBytes[i];   // finally update the just read input to the the previous input for the next cycle
    
      prevJoyBtnState = joyBtnState;
            }}
    It shows my wheel outputs 4 bytes, and the hat-swith 'push' is in that 4th byte, and which also fixes the 'int bit2btn[]' discrepancy.

    There's obviously a ton of other stuff in here too, but 1 step at a time.

    Good job on searching. Have fun.

    I can't get past bit2btn.

    That above post I found is literally the only relevant google return.
    Nothing in the Arduino reference.

    and "Joystick_ Joystick..."... what is that even doing?

    From your post #30 it is just an integer array: int bit2btn[] = {-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1, -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1, -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1, -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1}; // working array of buttons
    Note there is code in there that overwrites this array, I am guessing depending on which wheel or the like you are using...

    My strong guess is that you have 4 bytes of data being returned. Each bit may correspond to a button, and this should do the mapping.

    I would think something like one of these loops, should process the data, note for my own here I added in {} that the code above did not to make it clearer at least to me
    Code:
        for(int i=0; i<4; i++)  {    //process the four bytes
          for(int b=0; b<8; b++) {    //one bit at a time
            if((currBytes[i] & pos[b])!=(prevBytes[i] & pos[b])) {  // if the buttonstate has changed
              btnState=currBytes[i] & pos[b]; 
              int b2bindex = i * 8 + b;
              if (bit2bnt[b2bindex] != -1) {
                joystick.button(bit2bnt[b2bindex], btnState);
              }
            }
          }
        }
    Note typed on the fly so probably issues!

    Note some of the code you posted makes no sense, like places that have, the iterations above, plus initial ifs...
    Code:
              if ((bit2btn[(i*8)+b] >= 31) and (bit2btn[(i*8)+b] <= 34)) {   // hatswitch (Dpad) pressed?
                if (btnState == 0)               // button released?
                  Joystick.button(13, joyBtnState);      // send the update
    That is i goes from 0-3 and b goes 0-7, so the largest index is 3*8+7 or 31 so it could be only the last bit, but hat switch.
    usually is 4 bits or an an angle. And the Joystick code wants an angle:
    Joystick.hat(angle); // "angle" is 0,45,90,135,180,225,270,315,-1

    So you will need to understand which bits (or is it a different byte?) correspond to UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT and compute the angle to pass in or -1 to be centered.

    Thank you Kurt.

    So, [int bit2btn] isn't saying 'these are the buttons and their current values', it's just 'here are some buttons?

    Could I just use this from the Joystick Tutorial to set individual Byte/bit combos as a Joystick.button?

    Code:
      Joystick.button(1, digitalRead(1));
      Joystick.button(2, digitalRead(1));
    Maybe something like:
    Code:
    const int slaveSelectPin = 10;
    Joystick.button(1, [byte/bitRead = x) ] ); //bearing i mind I don't know how this would really look... 'CurrByte & pos [b]' maybe?
    Joystick.button(2, [byte/bitRead = y) ] );
    
    void setup() {
    //input from wheel
       Serial.begin(9600);
       SPI.beginTransaction(SPISettings());
       SPI.begin();
       pinMode(slaveSelectPin, OUTPUT);
    
    //output to joystick
       Joystick.begin();
    }
    
    void loop() {
    //tell the wheel, that we are ready to read the data now
       digitalWrite(slaveSelectPin, LOW);
    }
    
    //read the wheel's 5 bytes
       for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
          currBytes[i] = ~SPI.transfer(0x00);
    
          if (joyBtnState != prevJoyBtnState)
             Joystick.button(13, joyBtnState);
    
    
    //release the wheel
       digitalWrite(slaveSelectPin, HIGH);

    I'm parsing #30 down to what seems like the bare bones.

    I've commented out the "Joystick_ Joystick" stuff, because that looks like it's trying to draw on a a DynamicHID/PluggableUSB resource from the author's modded library... whih doesn't work on the TLC

    Code:

    int wheelID;
    bool btnState, joyBtnState, prevJoyBtnState, buttonsreset, wheelIdentified;
    const bool debugging = false; // Set to true to see wheel bits debug messages on the com port

    if (btnState == 0)               // button released?
    Joystick.button(i, LOW); // release hatswitch
    else Joystick.button(i, (bit2btn[(i * 8) + b] - 31) * 90); // direction in 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees
    } else Joystick.button(bit2btn[(i * 8) + b], btnState);  // send the update
    
    }
    
    joyBtnState = (currBytes[3] & pos[0]) && !(currBytes[2] & 0x3c);  // if hatswitch is pressed in the middle
    if (joyBtnState != prevJoyBtnState)
    Joystick.button(14, 1);                            // press button 14
    
    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
    prevBytes[i] = currBytes[i];   // finally update the just read input to the the previous input for the next cycle
    
    prevJoyBtnState = joyBtnState;
    
    }
    In #26 Kurt wrote "I believe you can just do something like joystick.button(13, joyBtnState);"

    I thought 13 was an Arduino operation code... but that was just an example button number, right?

    I'm having trouble understanding what's happening with the 'button - press loop'.
    Is Joystick.button(i, ...) a thing? I want it to do the thing it needs to do, rather than explicitly telling it to [do this].

    " if ((bit2btn[(i * 8) + b] >= 31) and (bit2btn[(i * 8) + b] <= 34)) { // hatswitch (Dpad) pressed?"
    31 through 34... are these the numeric values of Byte 4?

    Do I need to change that? My Byte 4 reads 00000000 when pressed... so a numeric value of 0?
    Since all my buttons read 0 when pressed: HatUp, HatDown, HatLeft, HatRight... will also all read 0?

    All my buttons will read 0?

    e.g. in Blue above, $currBytes3 & pos 0 && currBytes2 & 0x3c

    does that add up to 0 to press the Hat?

    Further on the Hat
    Code:
    else Joystick.button(0, (bit2btn[(i * 8) + b] - 31) * 90); // direction in 0, 90, 180, 270 degrees
    } else Joystick.button(bit2btn[(i * 8) + b], btnState);  // send the update
    The hat angle code is in there at 90 deg increments. That switch is not a high quality item and is really finniky to use. I think all TM wheels have that switch set to a 4+Push rather than an actual Hat. The HatPush is in Byte 4. All of Byte 4.. and every Hatpress is combo with it.

    11000101 11111111 11111111 11111111 - Nothing
    11000101 11111111 11111111 00000000 - HatPush
    11000101 11111111 11101111 00000000 - HatUp, no push
    11000101 11111111 11011111 00000000 - HatLeftt, no push
    11000101 11111111 11110111 00000000 - HatRight, no push
    11000101 11111111 11111011 00000000 - HatDown, no push

    I think it would be easier to forget this is a HatSwitch/D-Pad and treat it like 5 separate buttons if the way it's setup will allow?

    Last revision before bed.

    I think I'm starting to understand how the button press/release loop works,... but obviously not well enough.

    "int R383Btn[]" has gone back in to give assignable button numbers
    "memcpy" to translate (bit2btn->R383btn) is in the 'setup', might it be better after the 'read'?

    I took "joyBtnState" out. But now I'm thinking that's what TLC sends to Windows, while "btnState" is what the wheel sends to TLC?

    If any code fairies want to fix this while I'm sleeping, that'd be great cheers..

    It's a shame ↓this↓ doesn't work:
    Code:
      // press/release loop
    
      for (int i=0; i<4; i++)                                                                                                                                                                         
        for (int b=0; b<8; b++)                                                                                                                                                                    
          if ((currBytes[i] & pos[b]) != (prevBytes[i] & pos[b])) {                                                                                                         
            btnState = currBytes[i] & pos[b];
            Joystick.button(bit2btn[(i*8) + b], btnState);                                                                                                                     
          }
    I like how simple it is.

    Code:
      if ((wheelIdentified) and (wheelID == 3)) {                         // only for R383 wheel
        joyBtnState = (currBytes[3] & pos[0]) && !(currBytes[2] & 0x3c);  // if hatswitch is pressed in the middle
        if (joyBtnState != prevJoyBtnState)
          Joystick.setButton(13, joyBtnState);                            // press button 14
      }
    It looks like joyBtnState was used only for the hatswitch.

    " Joystick.setButton(13, joyBtnState); // press button 14"

    is that jsut a typo?

    I've managed to get the code to the barest of bones:

    Code:
    JUST PRESS THE BUTTON!
    I know TLC can read & process buttonstate and changes to buttonstate through Serial Print/Serial Monitor..
    I've seen this in action.

    ... but I haven't seen TLC sending a buttonstate or changes to buttonstate to Windows.

    So, I thought this would be a lot easier if I could [press the button], and then move on to the nuance of pressing a specific button at a particular time.

    Code:
    #include <SPI.h>
    #include <Joystick.h>
    
    const int slaveSelectPin = 10;
    
    void setup() {
      Joystick.begin();
    }
    
    void loop() {
      Joystick.button(1, 1);
    }

    This should get all the button(x, 1) lit up, right?

    Sorry I don't really do that much with some of the different USB types...

    But for me on a Teensy 3.2 I tried simple sketch:
    Code:
    uint8_t button_index = 1;
    void setup() {
      pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
    }
    void loop() {
      digitalToggleFast(13);
      Joystick.button(button_index, 0);
      button_index = (button_index == 32)? 1 : button_index + 1;
      Joystick.button(button_index, 1);
      delay(250);
    }
    I built for usb type: keyboard, mouse, joystick...

    I brought up the Gametroller or the like on Windows 11

    And it does show it walking through the buttons...

    Unfortunately I also discovered the reason it wasn't working before:

    Hamfistedness is Key to understanding quite a few 'unexplained' problems I feel.
    So, I'm going to have to work through everything from the beginning I think.

    I dont know if these white text warnings matter, but during verify/upload, I'm ocassionally getting:

    Code:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\teensy\avr\cores\teensy3\usb_keyboard.c: In function 'unicode_to_keycode':
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\teensy\avr\cores\teensy3\usb_keyboard.c:151:40: warning: large integer implicitly truncated to unsigned type [-Woverflow]
      if (cpoint == UNICODE_EXTRA00) return (KEYCODE_EXTRA00) & 0x3FFF;
    I was specifically running ↓this↓, but I'm getting them regulalry, though not every time I verify/upload.

    Code:
    #include <Joystick.h>
    
    void setup() {
      Joystick.begin();
    }
    void loop() {
      Joystick.button(1, 1);
    }

    My guess is Paul and/or someone who uses international keyboards should take a look at this.

    I am assuming you are using a none US keyboard for this.

    Yep, UK English.

    Might it be a hardware related issue? Board currently wont run either of the [just press the button] scripts.
    My hamfistedness could well have carried over into the repairs for my previous hamfistedness.

    if (currHamfistedness >= prevHamfistedness)
    bork;

    I made an experimental PR that should fix the warning: https://github.com/PaulStoffregen/cores/pull/680

    Could you see if it fixes the warnings for you?

    Thank you Shawn. I've applied the changes, but I'm currently resoldering my board so I wont have any tests until this evening.

        prevJoyBtnState = joyBtnState;
      }
    }

    This is basically what I had in #37, I think. The hardware issues I've been having which caused the original look into this wheel might have been cropping up and I think I'm tracing those to my USB powered soundcard.
    They've been messing, I htink, with the entire USB bus, and hoipefully moving that to a separate PCIe bus will solve the issues.

    I have still to separate hatpress from hatpush, but Kurt, defrag and Shawn... thank you.
