We have Dance Dance Revolution pads with Gamecube plugs for the Wii, and I wanted to be able to play games on the PC using a dance pad--I thought (rightly!) that Tetris would be particularly fun. As a bonus, I also wanted to be able to use our (knock-off) Gamecube controller to for games on the PC, as I don't have any PC gamepad.

You will need access to a Windows user account that has administrator rights. You can then use devices like the GameCube Controller Adapter. Mar 18, 2016 Do you have a Wii U Gamecube controller adapter and want to use it on your PC? In this video, I'll show you step by step on how to.
One can buy a GameCube Controller adapter for $16, but I am cheap, and I wanted to be able to have different settings for different games, without any software fiddling on the PC side (GlovePIE, FreePIE, vJoystick, etc.) For instance, for some games I want the pad (and the sticks on the Gamecube controller) to generate arrow keys; forfor other games, I want it to generate WASD controls; for some I want to use the Gamecube controller as a joystick with different button mappings for different games.
The solution is a $2 'black pill' STM32F1 development board. It's more powerful than an Arduino (32-bit ARM processor at 72MHz), has a USB peripheral, runs at the 3.3v needed for the Gamecube controller, and already has software (after a patch or two) that supports USB Keyboard/Joystick/Mouse all at once.
This Instructable will also tell you how to get started making USB HID devices with the STM32F1 and the Arduino IDE.
The design allows for up to 15 different operation modes, indicated by four LEDs. One can switch operation modes with two push buttons. For instance, mode 1 is a joystick emulation that merges the two shoulder buttons into a single sliders, mode 2 is a joystick emulation that keeps the shoulder buttons as separate sliders and mode 4 emulates keyboard arrow keys.
Parts needed:
- 'Black pill' STM32F103C8T6 minimum development system. Don't get the slightly cheaper red or blue ones, as they have deficiencies. Currently $1.90 on Aliexpress (here; I had ordered for $2.05 here)
- Gamecube extension cable. Currently $1.53 on Aliexpress (here)
- Four red LEDs
- Four 220ohm resistors
- Two momentary switches (one will do in a pinch)
- One 10 uF capacitor
- One 100 nF capacitor
- A small piece of protoboard (I cut it from a larger chunk)
- Wire
- Solder
- Something to put it in (a small cardboard box; a food container; I made a 3D printed case)
Tools needed:
- Computer
- Arduino or other UART-to-USB bridge device
- Soldering iron
- Micro USB cable
- Multimeter or continuity tester
- Optional: 3D printer
- Optional: 2D printer
