And, at the end of the day, does it matter? Granted its kind of sloppy build practice, but if I just pick one of the ‘hardware numbers’ - say ‘6’ above - and map it to Joystick button 1 will that work?
Hey there, @MollyMaguire!
You have your rows and columns wrong.
Try setting only F4 as row, and only once.
Then set F5, F6 & F7 as columns
Rows F4
Columns F5 F6 F7
That should fix it.

And it did fix it; thanks once again! So now I have signals getting to the ProMicro; next step is figuring out how to ‘tame’ them and turn the inputs into something useful…

Now that you have the hardware input from the switches you need to specify what signal the promicro will send to windows.
In the Button list to the right, you have all the Direct X buttons in the left column. Just select which hardware input you want to generate an output at button 1, then 2, etc. You can select some extra stuff here like pressing once turns the signal on, pressing again turns it off. You can also select a timer to hold the button pressed for a given amount of time.
Got that happening; and responses from pitch, roll, rudder. Now I need to get that into IL2… Been clicking around randomly there, but can’t seem to map my ProMicro outputs to anything.
I think that’s because you have the Switch ON mode. IL-2 needs the switch to go ON-OFF for it to register. Or maybe you just need a 20 milisec timer so the signal is registered?
Does it work in game controllers?
Try selecting just Switch or Normal, or whatever the usual mode is.
yeah, that was a point of confusion, but i dont know where to map the axes to in the game either… so i dont have any of the controls that are coming from the ProMicro… pitch, roll, etc…
You don’t know where in the settings…? Are you able to map other joysticks?
Do the signals from the pro micro register in windows game controllers?
yes, signals are showing up in Windows Game Controller - except button presses. This is the version of my MMJoy; can I update that without losing all of my programming?
I was watching a YouTube video where a guy had a 2016 ver of MMJoy and that had different options for button presses…
I think I have an even newer version… I’ll have a look.
Hi Toll:
Any luck w/ a newer version of firmware(?) for the ProMicro?
thanks
Sorry! I haven’t had time yet.
no problem; whenever you get a minute is fine. thanks
I think I got it. Found a 20161101 version on Google sites. Now just need a procedure to update the firmware on the ProMicro…

I’ve never used a pro micro, but here’s a good tutorial for a teensy…
Hope it helps.
