* What is this?
|
|
|
|
|
This is a simple recipe for turning your Arduino into a usable
|
|
|
|
|
joystick/gamepad.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am using [[https://robotdyn.com/joystick-shield-for-arduino.html][RobotDyn Joystick shield]] which makes the whole process
|
|
|
|
|
trivial.

|
* Compiling
|
|
|
|
|
Install the dependencies:

|
Tweak ~joystick.ino~ to suit your needs. In particular, enable or
|
|
|
|
|
disable using the Y axis as additional buttons.
|

|
|
|
Then just run ~make~ and ~make upload~ to flash the board.

** Y axis as buttons
|
|
|
|
|
Using the Y axis on the joystick as additional buttons is useful for
|
|
|
|
|
playing e.g. SuperTuxKart, where you only need the joystick for
|
|
|
|
|
steering.

* Wiring
|
|
|
|
|
There is nothing to wire -- just pop the shield onto your board and
|
|
|
|
|
plug it in!

* Debugging
|
|
|
|
|
You can use the ~jstest~ tool on Linux.
