[PC-PIC II] Playing PONG, music and driving with a PIC 18F4520
June 7th, 2009

Finally I decided to pack the remaining projects in a video to finalize the PC-PIC posts. There is another project with the PIC that moves the mouse with the potentiometers and made left click and right click with the buttons connected to the PIC, but I haven’t included it in the video because I haven’t had time.
The project uses two potentiometers as analog inputs, which are translated to digital signals by the PIC and the data is sent to the computer with the serial output. In the computer a specific software programmed in Python translates the data to movements and sounds, depending on the project.
I leave with you with the video:



alvare… si vas a escribir, escriba bien… se dicen pots… no potes. Nomas falta que chilangues Python tambien…
por cierto muy curada el pong. Sube mas videos por favor.
Very nice work. Do you have any plans of putting up some more info on how you did this? I hope so. :)
@anon
Yes, I have recorded it without help (It was late at night) ;) And yes, the PONG game is developed in Python with the PyGame library, the music is generated also with Python, and the LFS is controlled also with Python xD
@anon
Go away you idiot. He obviously didn’t have someone to record the video with. Also, I don’t think he made the game, just the controller, but I may be wrong.
Why is it that nerds program 2 player games and then play both sides?
Muy bueno chabon, te envidio demasiado: potes deslizantes + Python + EeepPC + PIC. Aca eso es ser Jesus…solo falta Linux :(
(te hablo en español porque tu XP en la EeePC esta en español xP)
