The new Arduino Esplora has been designed to emulate traditional input devices like a mouse or keyboard, and Arduino has developed to not only be a games controller.

[Tobie Nortje] sure remembers them and has built an Arduino controller to play virtual versions of the games. He started off by finding a website that is digitizing the old games.

Arduino Shields, like the Xbee wireless communicator, aren’t compatible with the Esplora out of the box, but any existing Arduino software should work with the new pre-assembled controller.

With the new Arduino Leonardo board able to emulate USB keyboards and mice right out of the box, it seems the perfect time for Arduino designers to come up with a proper video game controller.

Welcome the new Arduino - the Esplora! It's shaped like a game controller, and it's designed to be used out of the box as it comes with many sensors and actuators already on it (you can add a couple ...

Arduino seems like a great way to create interactive devices but historically it hasn't been too hot for creating the ultimate in interactivity, computer gaming. That changed with the release of ...

A new game engine developed by Scott Porter allows the classic ’80s game Manic Miner, originally for Sinclair ZX Spectrum computers, to be played on an Arduino UNO. This engine is distinct from ...

This huge controller easily outsizes a MacBook and was made with $130 (~R1 714) worth of LEGO. The D-pad is connected to a ball joint with the other buttons floating freely in the top part of the ...

It's developed an Arduino-based plug-and-play bio-feedback game controller that uses EMG (electromyography) sensors to monitor the electrical activity in your skeletal muscles and turn them into ...

Make Your Own Plush Game Controller Electronics maker Adafruit Industries has developed its own Arduino-compatible boards, including one called the Flora–and a few craft projects to go with them.
