What is this?

This is a simple recipe for turning your Arduino into a usable joystick/gamepad.

I am using RobotDyn Joystick shield which makes the whole process trivial.

Compiling

Install the dependencies:

• Arduino Makefile (available as arduino-mk in Ubuntu/Debiab)
• Arduino Joystick Library

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

Wiring

There is nothing to wire – just pop the shield onto your board and plug it in!
