Thanks. Nah, no need for a white paper. I just copied this project:

http://hobbyelektronik.org/wiki/inde...le=SNES-Joypad

Just use google translate to read it (unless you know German). It was a fun 1 day project. I already had the AVR programmer, and the chip because i had already made the USB Capslocker . It was basically the same parts list and practically the same code too.


Also, for anyone interested here are some other USB AVR projects.

here is the AVR programmer i used:

also, I've been trying to complete the PPM RC to USB joystick, however i haven't had any luck in figuring out the fuses need for the chip. I wanted to use the VEX (PPM RC) controller and hook the radio and crystal to the chip. I thought it be pretty cool to use on an Open Source flight simulator with a VEX controller.

edit: I might try to whitepaper it after I've verified it will work with the DS. I'm about 98% sure it will work though.
