Adafruit PC Joystick to seesaw I2C Adapter – STEMMA QT / Qwiic: Coming quickly! Signal as much as be notified when these are in inventory
Again in my day, we used to have these massive chunky PC joysticks that will plug into the again of your PC. No, not by means of USB, that they had a DE-15 port they usually’d go into the Recreation Port your sound results card. Now, after all, we now have tons of USB ports and high quality audio is constructed into each laptop. However what if you wish to re-live your Commander Eager days?
This board has a 15 pin D-Sub socket port, that you could plug any traditional PC joystick into. Onboard is a ATtiny816 helper chip that acts as a I2C peripheral utilizing our ‘seesaw’ library. Two STEMMA QT ports imply you may plug this board in utilizing a 4-pin JST SH cable to any microcontroller or microcomputer with I2C help and skim the joystick X & Y plus the 2 buttons, even when your primary chip doesn’t have analog inputs. There’s even a 5V energy generator on-board since joysticks expect that voltage.
Nice for changing previous controllers with no need to chop any cables. We’ve got instance code for Arduino and CircuitPython / Python to make your subsequent pew pew mission a breeze.
Adafruit Metro RP2040: Coming quickly! Signal as much as be notified when these are in inventory
Choo! Choo! That is the RP2040 Metro Line, making all station stops at “Twin Cortex M0+ mountain”, “264K RAM round-about” and “16 Megabytes of Flash city”. This practice is pile excessive with {hardware} that enhances the Raspberry Pi RP2040 chip to make it a wonderful growth board for initiatives that need Arduino-shape-compatibility or simply want the additional area and debugging ports.
