PIC USB Accelerometer Gamepad for PC

Project link: http://www.starlino.com/usb_gamepad.html
Playing TmNationsForever on a PC with a PIC USB gamepad that I have built in a Wii STEERING WHEEL shell (no electronics from Wii have been used, just this cheap plastic case that I drilled and mounted 2 buttons). The code for the firmware was written in PicBasic Pro and it implements a HID USB device with 2 axes and 4 buttons (only 2 buttons connected). The device is detected by Windows XP/Vista as a standard USB gamepad and can be used with many other games.

ur game go very slow D:

[starlino]

@TruThW00ldo yeah I guess youtube is having problems with the format, anyways the slow motion turns out to be interesting to observer the reaction time.

Update: a gamepad kit is now available on gadgetgangster[dot]com/231

This is great!

[starlino]

Yes, this is one of my favorite projects. Easy to build and most important - lots of fun to use ! On my website (starlino [dot] com ) you'll find schematics and building tips from off-the-shelf components. I even have pre-programmed chips if you never worked with PICs before. Thank you guys for good words, it's very encouraging. Hope to bring more intersting projects soon !
