Today, I was able to get a sneak preview of 6 Axis PC USB controller made by
Garrett from scratch.
It looks really cool, kinda like the Nintendo Wii controller and the PS3 controller.
He used a CUBLOC 405 module, accelerometer, and an unknown USB controller.
Garrett says he will have a howto very soon, so keep checking over the next couple
days for the 6 axis controller. It’s not wireless yet but that should be the easy part.
Here’s some pictures I took although Garrett told me not to. (Sorry Garrett,
it’s way too cool!)
