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 ...

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 ...

In this project, we create a joystick-controlled laser by connecting two servos to a joystick and using this setup as a pan-and-tilt controller for a laser pointer. The following is excerpted from the ...

In this module, you will wire a mobile platform and a remote to control the mobile platform. The remote uses a joystick to read in user input, which then sends the joystick’s position to the mobile ...

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 ...

Arduino’s brand-new Esplora microcontroller, packed with prebuilt sensors and features, could indicate a move for the DIY electronics company toward a wider segment of the microcontroller market.

Arduino hobbyists, developers and programmers that would like to be able to remove the need to use cables to access their Arduino projects, might be interested in a new wireless programmer ...
