Crafting a Pong-Style Controller Using Arduino Nano To bring the classic game of Pong to life, users can build a custom controller utilizing the versatile Arduino Nano microcontroller board. This DIY project requires minimal hardware components and is an ideal introduction to working with microcontrollers. To get started, gather the necessary materials: * An Arduino Nano microcontroller board * Two push-button switches or joysticks for player input * A breadboard for easy circuit assembly * Jumper wires to connect components * Power source (batteries or USB cable) Next, upload a simple game code to the Arduino board using the Arduino IDE software. This example code will allow players to control their paddles on the screen by pressing the buttons or moving the joysticks. With the circuit assembled and the code uploaded, plug in the controller to your computer via USB. The Pong game should now be playable directly from your DIY controller. This project offers a fun and interactive way for users to learn about microcontrollers and circuit design while enjoying a classic arcade experience.
