The idea is to use a simple and cheap Arduino Leonardo to simulate a HID Gamepad that reads from a original Color Computer Joystick. An Arduino Leonardo or Compatible A DIN-6 female connector to ...
We will use Linux or OSX to program the Arduino's main processor and also the atmega16u2 (the programmer). The atmega16u2 chip allows us to use the Arduino as a USB HID device. Connect your Arduino to ...
The Joystick module is similar to analog joysticks found in gamepads. It is made by mounting two potentiometers at a 90 degrees angle. The potentiometers are connected to a short stick centered by ...
Microcontrollers tend to consume other kinds of electronics. A project you might once have done with a 555 now probably has a cheap microcontroller in it. Music synthesizers? RC controllers? Most ...
Even though games like Infinity Blade can be great fun on the iPhone, there's no getting around the fact that touchscreen-centric, buttonless devices don't offer the best gaming ergonomics. A modding ...
