There is no reason you can't set up a simple system that uses an I2C controller and HID comms on the PSoC board. If we are not able to get our hands on the default firmware, you can check out this article for a start: http://www.cypress.com/?rID=39404

Actually, it is against the rules. I had the same idea, but for some reason they want to keep it locked down. See rule <R60N>


Another question... Is there an application or something that I can use to see the output of a usb joystick? I need something for testing, and I don't have any way of telling what the joystick is actually outputting.
