An Arduino set-up to turn your Fat Cat Cushion into a controller for FFXIV. When you sit on the fat cat, you summon the Mount in-game. That's it that's literally it! Watch the oveview video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcHgGBZSpo0
This mod needs some hardware to get running. I have a full tutorial on my website if you need more information: https://www.controllerbend.com/fatter-cat-mount.html
- Arduino Micro: Amazon $19
- Touch Sensor: Amazon $9
- Solderless Breadboard (Optional)
- Jumper Solderless Wires: Amazon $9
Step 1: Setting up the Arduino Hardware
- Connect your Touch sensor to the Arduino Micro.
- Connect the Touch Sensor's VCC is connected to the 5V slot on the Arduino
- Connect the SIG to the Digital 4 slot
- Connect the GND to the GND on the Arduino
Step 2: Upload the Arduino Script into your Arduino
- Visit the Github page to download the program
- Upload it to your Arduino
Step 3: Set up your FFXIV for the Arduino
- Put your Fatter Cat Mount (or any mount) on the Numpad 7 slot on your Hotbar
- Place the Arduino and touch sensor on where you would sit on the Fat Cat
- I decided to hide it underneath some fabric so I didn't have to secure it by sewing into the Fat Cat Cushion
Step 4: Sit & Enjoy!
