Once adding the Pro Trinket Mouse Library to you Arduino programming environment. Copy the iTapStick project code below and create the iTapStick Sketch in the Arduino IDE. Since you will need the wiinunchuk.h library, please proceed to download this library and add it to your project as well.

Function: Wired and Wireless mouse emulation (mouse cursor, left click, and right click)
from Wii Nunchuk to support Tap and Mouse control based Games for PC, Mac, and Android based games
Support our open source projects by getting an iTapStick Kit Available:

We have built in two modes of operation for using the iTapStick. One mode allows the right click and left click to correspond to the "Z" and "C" respectively. The other mode allows the right click and left click to correspond to the "C" and "Z" respectively. You can set the mode when initially connecting the Pro Trinket to the computer. Once setting the mode, it will remember the next time so you don't have to set it every time.
