6 Axis PC Controller

 

Here is a cool project in development, it’s a joystick for the PC that uses accelerometers to to detect user input. It uses a CUBLOC 405 module for the brains and a Dimension Engineering accelerometer to sense movement.

“Today, I was able to get a sneak preview of 6 Axis PC USB controller made by Garrett from scratch. It looks really cool, kinda like the Nintendo Wii controller and the PS3 controller. He used a CUBLOC 405 module, accelerometer, and an unknown USB controller. Garrett says he will have a howto very soon, so keep checking over the next couple days for the 6 axis controller. It’s not wireless yet but that should be the easy part.”

  1. I built a 2 axis wireless controller about 5 years ago. It was great untill I added the (IR based) wireless link and introduced a small but perceptable time lag (maybe 100ms). That combined with the fact that I built it into the case of a misurable failier of a tilt switch based controller meant that nobody in my company wanted to even look at it. There were a few other small problems, nothing insurmountable, but it was DBA (dead before arrival).


  2. What game is that? lol… All I heard was the guy say blah blah blah demo from last year… something like that. Thanks 🙂
