An Arduino Shield lets you to employ your Arduino for more than one project and to change the hardware setup easily. This little post is about a common (and cheap) Arduino Joystick Shield – the ...

The Arduino Esplora is equipped with a Arduino-compatible processor with a light sensor, a temperature sensor, a 3-axis accelerometer, a joystick, a set of pushbuttons, a slider, an RGB LED, and a ...

I have started this joystick controller experiment inspired by the need of a simple DIY joystick which could deliver greater flexibility in the possible designs. Hardware component basis is very ...

On board the Esplora is the same ATMega 32U4 microcontroller found in the newest Arduino boards. For input, the designers included an analog joystick, four tact switches, a linear pot, a ...

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.

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.

Tinkerers take note, because Arduino has launched its new Esplora controller, which just so happens to be customizable and open source. The Esplora is derived… ...

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 ...
