V-USB based Electronics board for Arcade controls

Features

========

* V-USB based USB Interface emulating a mouse, keyboard and gamepad with full configuration of button mapping (no drivers required)

* 4 way digital joystick + 7 button connections. 4 way joystick inputs can also be used for analogue joystick.

* 16 LED output pins (max current total 200mA) which can also be used as inputs. And 8 are also mapped wired to 1A higher power outputs with external power supply (optional hardware)

* RFM12 wireless transiever (optional hardware) allows communication with other controllers and building of wireless controllers with 2 boards.

* Full open-source hardware & open-source software - Build with Free-Open-Source tools (KiCAD & AVR-GCC)

* ISP header to program the AVR (reset line can be cut and re-wired to have the board function as an programmer on the same header)

* USB-micro or USB-B connector depending on your taste

* Different small board designs, depending on your requirements:

	* 100x50mm: Fully featured, has option for 16 LED outputs, of which 8 can be configured for high power. Has wireless RFM12 option. 4 direction inputs, 7 button inputs

	* 50x50mm: Only base features with screw connectors. 4 direction inputs, 7 button inputs.

	* 50x25mm: Only base features with pin connectors. 4 direction inputs, 7 button inputs 

	* 25x25mm: Only base features with pin connectors, components on both sides. 4 direction inputs, 7 button inputs 

Organization

============

The following directories are in this project:

* Electronics - Contain the KiCAD design files

* Software/firmware/bootloader - Modified HIDBoot

* Software/firmware/arcade - Main firmware for the Arcade controller

* Software/computer/commandline - Commandline application to change the controller configuration, and control the LEDs

* Software/computer/lib - Library shared between different applications for custom commands to the ArcadeController

* Software/computer/gui_test - SDL based application to verify the Keyboard/Joystick/Mouse inputs
