Is possible to make a joystick for PC USB ?
PostPosted: Tue Jul 07, 2009 8:40 am     Reply with quote
I saw one simple schematic for a joystick using avr:
The axes are read from Analog inputs and buttons are normally connected with pull-down.

The thing is that I'm so not into AVR.

Can I use a PIC 16F88 ?
What bootloader do I have to write?
Can anyone give me some related links ?

That project is for a USB joystick . The 16F88 has no USB capability.
You would need to use a PIC such as the 18F4550.

USB is fairly complicated for a newbie. Even using the CCS examples,
there are many little "gotchas" involving software configuration and
external hardware components and connections.

What bootloader do I have to write?

A bootloader is a method for installing an application program into a PIC
through a serial port, USB, etc. It's a method for programming a PIC
without using a hardware programmer such as an ICD2, ICD-U40, etc.
You don't need a bootloader to do your project. Just use a normal
hardware programmer (ICD2, etc.) to put the program into the PIC.

You should be able to find those with Google. Just use a search string
such as this:
