USB HID JOYSTICK DEMO
This demo uses the starter kit as a USB joystick.
To test the joystick feature, open the Game Controller applet in the Control Panel. In
the following dialog, select “Joystick Demo” under “Installed Game Controllers”, then
click Properties. At the “Joystick Demo properties” dialog, select the Test tab to show
the interactive test display (Figure 2-4).
FIGURE 2-4:
The following controls are implemented in the Joystick Demo:
1. X-Axis/Y-Axis: The movement of the cursor around the white area is controlled
2. Z-Axis: The Z-axis is controlled using the scroll bar. Touch the bar and slide your
3. Z-Rotation: Rotation around the Z-axis is controlled with the potentiometer.
4. Buttons 1 and 2: Of the 13 buttons displayed, buttons 1 and 2 are controlled
using the on-board accelerometer. Like the Mouse Demo, acceleration on all
three axes is used to compute board tilt, which is then converted to movement
on the X and Y axis. While holding the starter kit board so that the USB connector
faces towards you, tilt the board to the right and left to change the X-axis position.
Tilt the board up and down to change the Y-axis position.
finger towards the bottom or top to change the Z-axis position.
Rotate the potentiometer to change the rotation.
