Hi peeps,
What's the simplest/cheapest way to implement a arduino based wireless HID device ?
At the moment I have an ATMEGA32U4 (Leonard) pretending to be a HID joystick and I'd like to make this wireless.
One thought is to use something like a trinket + receiver (RF or IR ) on the PC end to act as the HID device and then use a trasmitter on the arduino joystick to talk to the trinket.
another would be to go the bluetooth route but the Adafruit bluetooth ez-key just does HID mouse and keyboard (not joystick ?)
Any wisdom gratefully recieved.
Rob

The EZ-Key can emit HID events: https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing- ... via-serial
And this tutorial shows how to use one to make a wireless game controller: https://learn.adafruit.com/snes-ez-key- ... t-game-pad

Re: Arduino to wireless HID
That appears to be limited to key and mouse events. I need something a bit more flexible to act as a HID joystick.

Re: Arduino to wireless HID
I'm afraid that's all we have. The EZ-Link can send arbitrary data, but enumerates as a serial connection, not as an HID source.
