How to push game controller buttons?

02 December 2014 - 05:36 AM

Hello gurus! I am hoping I have a very simple question for you.

I am a software developer and want to create a project where I can "press" the various buttons on a game controller. I plan on opening the controller and closing the circuit of each button as needed, rather than building something that has to physically press down on the buttons.

Pressing buttons will be controlled by logic in the program. I think I'm okay with this part. It's the electronics part that I'm clueless about.

How can I acheive this? I think I need a relay, probably many? Do I need any resistors? There's 6-8 buttons on a controller and I'd like to control up to 4 controlllers. I have ordered a Netduino Plus 2.
