Spinner Controller

prusaprinters

<p>The spinner generates X-axis mouse movement when the knob is rotated, and the buttons generate mouse events. Intended for use with gaming consoles or computers that accept USB mouse-like devices as inputs.</p><p>In addition to the printed case and knob, you'll also need:</p><ul><li>a BQLZR 600P/R rotary encoder: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UTIFCVA">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UTIFCVA</a></li><li>an Arduino Pro Micro or equivalent: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012FOV17O">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B012FOV17O</a></li><li>three 24mm pushbuttons: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X242Z4D">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07X242Z4D</a></li><li>four 6mm M3 bolts</li><li>six ¼" nuts or similar-sized weights (optional, depending on your gaming preferences)</li></ul><p>Assembly is pretty straightforward:</p><ol><li>solder the header strips onto the Arduino <i>pointing upward</i></li><li>program the Arduino</li><li>mount the Arduino in the case (it's a tight fit, and could probably use a heavy double-sided tape to hold it in place)</li><li>bolt the encoder to the case top using 3 of the bolts</li><li>connect the encoder to pins labeled 2,3,GND,RAW (white,green,black,red respectively)</li><li>snap the 3 buttons into the case top, taking care to keep the pins clear of the Arduino pins&nbsp;</li><li>connect one pin of each button to any pin labeled GND</li><li>connect the other pin of each button to pins labeled 19,20,21 (or A1,A2,A3)&nbsp;</li><li>close the case</li><li>attach the knob to the encoder shaft using the remaining bolt</li></ol><p><strong>NOTE</strong>: <i><strong>Only the models</strong></i> are public domain.
