The Dualshock 2 controller is a great addition to your next Arduino powered robot. However, it can be tricky to convert the 3.3 voltages of the controller, to the Arduino’s 5-volt system. Check out the link for a great solution to this problem, including the schematics and code.

A Playstation controller has two analog mini sticks (Dualshock and DualShock2 only), 12 pressure sensitive buttons (Dualshock 2 only) and two digital buttons. All these inputs can be made available to the Arduino via only 4 pins (three of which can be shared with other functions, if planned carefully).

    According to a recent survey conducted by an independent research firm in United States of America, it is been observed that more than sixty percent of adults are spending almost 10 hours a week
    in playing games. At the time you perform the perfect game, it really
    is fairly tough to deal with other considerations. As of today, it is hard to tell how many
    different types of computer games out there as more and more games are being released on a regular
    basis.
