Usb Host shield and XBox joypad example

In this example we will connect an XBox 360 (USB) joypad to a USB Host shield and flash some LEDs depending on what button was pressed on the joypad

You will need a USB host shield, connect this to an Arduino UNO and then connect 4 sets of LEDs. You will also need an XBox 360 joypad, these are just standard USB joypads

Schematics

Here are some basic schematics and layout.

Code

You will need to install the https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0 library. There are already XBox examples, this is an adaptation of one of these

[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]

#include <XBOXUSB.h>

USB Usb;
XBOXUSB Xbox(&Usb);

void setup() 
{
  //Serial.begin(115200);
  //while (!Serial); // Wait for serial port to connect - used on Leonardo, Teensy and other boards with built-in USB CDC serial connection
  if (Usb.Init() == -1) 
  {
    //Serial.print(F("\r\nOSC did not start"));
    while (1); //halt
  }
  //Serial.print(F("\r\nXBOX USB Library Started"));
  pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(7, OUTPUT);

}

void loop() 
{
  Usb.Task();
  digitalWrite(4, LOW); 
  digitalWrite(5, LOW); 
  digitalWrite(6, LOW); 
  digitalWrite(7, LOW); 
  if (Xbox.Xbox360Connected) 
  {
    
    if (Xbox.getButtonClick(A))
    {
      digitalWrite(4, HIGH);
      delay(250);
    }
    if (Xbox.getButtonClick(B))
    {
      digitalWrite(5, HIGH);
      delay(250);
    }
    if (Xbox.getButtonClick(X))
    {
      digitalWrite(6, HIGH);
      delay(250);
    }
    if (Xbox.getButtonClick(Y))
    {
      digitalWrite(7, HIGH);
      delay(250);
    }
  }
  delay(1);
}
