I've been trying to figure out how to use v-usb on an ATMega328P but pretty much all the tutorials I've found are for ATTiny or use the ATMega328P but use a modified bootloader. I don't actually care at all about being able to program the chip over this USB connection and would rather just use the FTDI connection. I just want to have USB HID capability once the sketch starts.

Does anyone know how to use v-usb and still have complete compatibility with Arduino and use its default bootloader??

Edit: The bootloader issue may be moot. It may just work with the default. In that case, great. But I would still love to be pointed to something that shows exactly how to setup the hardware and firmware to get v-usb working on an ATMega.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Ignoring it as in not using it? Or just not worrying about it and trying the code anyways? I do need some sort of bootloader. \$\endgroup\$

vusb-for-arduino This is actually quite an old project (it works with arduino 0020) but it can be used as a good reference and probably easily ported to the newer IDE

Also look here its a newer project but it only has keyboard
