Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430WARE
Tool/software: Code Composer Studio
I am trying to build a custom gamepad that can be used on PC.
The reason for this is it is 4/2020 and this idea sounds pretty cool.
I have been digging around the internet for the past week and i have learned many things of how this is and is not possible.
It has come to my understanding that i need a device that supports HID interface for this to work.
Now i have looked into Arduino and Bluetooth modules but to use them you need certain boards i do not have.
So I looked into TI and i found that there is a tool know as "MSP Descriptor Tool" that can allow a few MSP controllers to have HID support.
And i happen to have a supported controller "MSP430F5529".
So I looked in how to do this and other than the TI site "http://www.ti.com/tool/MSP430USBDEVPACK" I have not found much.
I was wondering if anyone else has attempted this and could give me more insight of how to do this.
I have the hardware and i was planning on designing and 3D printing the case once everything else is done.
The only thing holding me back is trying to figure out the software.
