I’m trying to use a game controller (ex. Xbox or PS4 …) to convert the joysticks to analog values and keypads to some digital outputs. I know I can use a raspberry pi using some python codes to send these outputs through GPIO, but looking for more simple solution if possible.
There are some USB Joystick interface board to convert analog/digital signals to USB and can be used to connect to a PC. I’m looking for similar solution but opposite approach as the USB interface convert to analog/digital signal
The goal for me is to send some analog/digital outputs to a PLC as inputs
Hi Akb137,
Welcome to the forum!!
I’d take a look at ‘HID’ devices, this board here seems to tick a few boxes, if not all? USB Interface for Joystick and Buttons | Core Electronics Australia
You could also use a Pico to interpret all of the results but there is some programming required! I’d check out the CircuitPython docs for some more details if you are keen 
Hi Liam120347,
I’m looking for reverse of this board.
I need to extract analog/digital signals from a USB joystick

Hi Akb,
You’d then be looking for a device with USB reading capabilities, the Pi or another SBC would be your best bet.
From memory the STM32’s are capable but there isn’t much stock around the world.
