1.2 | The Joypad Shield
Joypad Shield
The Joypad Shield was specially developed for this project. It allows you to play
games conveniently and intuitively. The shield has six buttons. Four of them form
a directional pad so that directions can be given intuitively. Functions can be as-
signed to the other two buttons individually depending on the game. Thus, you
have got a total of eight buttons available that allow you to create plenty of games
and functions.
Beside the buttons, there is also a small Piezo transducer built-in on the board,
which serves as a loudspeaker. Apart from transmitting information via the display,
you are also able to provide acoustic feedback. ). Let’s go to the technical details:
Joypad Shield Arduino Uno compatible shield
Input 6 short-stroke button (D-pad + 2 action buttons)
Sound output integrated loudspeaker TMB12A05
1.3 | Installation
As previously mentioned, the two shields fit an Arduino Uno perfectly. However,
you should make sure that the Display Shield lines up exactly with the top slots of
the Arduino Uno.
