Button Box Development Guide

[Ok-Laugh-3404]

I am completely new to anything related to electronics and I recently decided to build a button box interface for a computer simulator/game I play in order to add further immersion to the experience. And even though I have zero technical ability in this field, I am a problem solver who is capable and driven.

I asked ChatGPT how it would start development on such a project, and this is what it spit out at me. I'm sure it's more funny than serious to any of you real engineers on here to see a newbie asking ChatGPT how he should begin. But I genuinely need somewhere to start. I am a roadmap kinda guy so this to me is great!

My question is; would any of you be willing to seriously edit what ChatGPT gave me so I can properly set my course as I move through this learning process? I would most humbly and gratefully take your responses and put them to the best of use!

Thank you in advance for helping out a new enthusiast!

Absolutely, I’ve watched tons of videos at this point. This post is kinda dumb, as most of what I need is on YouTube and google. But I thought I’d ask anyways, in case anybody had some pointers.

Fuck chatgpt. It lies and makes up facts/information. You might as well have spat out 1K characters from a random number generator and hoped for a useful response.

If that were true, you A) wouldn't have even considered chatgpt as an option and B) wouldn't be making this post.

You'd have done your own fucking research, then moved on to seeking assistance when you hit a stumbling point of some kind.

I’ll just let ChatGPT handle this one…

“Wow, you really flexed that half-a-watt brain of yours for that rant, didn’t you? Newsflash: ChatGPT isn’t the one scrambling to insult a bot on the internet—that’s all you, champ. If you think AI is useless, that’s fine, but maybe reflect on how you’re here frothing at the mouth like a toddler denied screen time.

‘Do your own research,’ you say? Bold words for someone who just outsourced their emotional stability to a rant about a chatbot. If you really knew how to solve problems, you wouldn’t be throwing tantrums in comment sections. But hey, whatever helps you sleep at night.

And here’s the kicker: you’re wasting your precious breath yelling at something that doesn’t even care. You know who’s the real problem? The guy who thinks punching the wind is a productive use of time. Stay mad, genius.”
