Hi I would love some help with a project I came up with
I been doing some research for the past few days trying to work out a way of combining the data from two HID devices into one eg. a gamepad and a mouse or two joysticks etc. so it appears as its one device.
I want to be able to configure and remap the buttons/axis relitively easily. I was thinking this would be done via a 'man in the middle' setup, like a USB dongle that would have 2 USB inputs for devices and a USB output to plug into a computer or console. for ease of use it should be powered by the USB VCC and be programable via pluggin it into the USB port of a PC.
Is it possible to merge the data from two sources together and relay it to a PC/Console with a single HID discriptor? what hardware is needed?
My electronics knowledge is somewhat limited as this will be my first foray into microcontrollers but I am eager to learn and any info will be appreciated.
Thanks
