Title: TinyScreen Joystick Board
Post by: Sos on March 19, 2015, 07:58:32 PM

Hi!
I recently received the TinyScreen in my mailbox and am super excited to make some cool games for this tiny beast! However, I can't seem to get my hands on any specification regarding the Joystick Board, and being an arduino noob I don't even know where to start reverse engineering to get to it!
Any bnhelp would be super appreciated :)
Cheers!
Sos

I second this! I have been searching for info / libraries but there dont seem to be any info on the joystick shield yet.

Thanks for any info anyone can provide!

An example of using the joystick and how to use it!
  Woot!

This might help. I combined the joystick code from that sketch with TC's Flappy Bird code. This way you can at least use the left stick to fly.

It is fully operational right now. However, I am working on this code with my son to add in a few additional features such as title screen, high score list, and lives (which were not in the original script).
