Arduino N64 Controller Library
Based on the work in http://www.instructables.com/id/Use-an-Arduino-with-an-N64-controller/ here comes a comfortable library for usage with e.g. Arduino Uno. For NES there is already http://code.google.com/p/nespad/ . This library uses inline assembly and controllers can be attached to PIN 0 up to 13. But be aware that it's not written in best way possible. Place the folder N64Controller into your folder 'libraries'.
I used it in combination with TVout ( http://code.google.com/p/arduino-tvout/ ) and EEPROM ( http://arduino.cc/playground/Code/EEPROMWriteAnything ) for highscore I modified an existing Tetris port which itself uses Simple Tetris Clone under MIT license to be useing this library here and the result is quite nice: http://pothos.blogsport.eu/files/2012/03/N64Tetris.zip
Example code for library usage:
#include <N64Controller.h>
N64Controller player1 (12); // this controler for player one is on PIN 12
void setup() {
player1.begin(); // Initialisation
}
void loop() {
delay(30);
player1.update(); // read key state
if (player1.button_A() && player1.button_D_down()
|| player1.button_Start()) { // has no deeper meaning ;)
int xachse = player1.axis_x(); // can be negative oder positive
// regarding to orientation of the analog stick
}
// …
}
Wireing:
To use, hook up the following to the Arduino:
Digital I/O 2: N64 serial line
All appropriate grounding and power lines, i.e.
GND to left N64 controller PIN, Dig.PIN2 to middle Serial/Signal,
3.3V to right N64 PIN
/------------\
/ O O O \
| GND Signl 3.3V |
|________________|
Maybe: connect PIN X with external 1K pull-up resistor to the 3.3V rail
Default and fallback PIN is 2
