brownan / gamecube-n64-controller Goto Github PK

Hi, this project is awesome. I have tried this with the Arduino Uno and it run perfectly, but what about to use a powerfull board? For example the Arduino Mega.

You about this topic said: "I used the Duemilanove with an AtMega328 running at 16MHz. A different chip may have different timings, and a different speed will most certainly require modifications to the timing code."

Differences between Uno and Mega:
Uno: ATmega328 - 16MHz - 32Kb
Mega: ATmega2560 - 16MHz - 256Kb

What I should investigate or read and modify to run your project in a Arduino Mega? My project it is about create a wearable or a gun controller for N64 using Arduino, Maybe I wont use a Wii controller for that reason I need a many digital entries for the different buttons.

Thank you.

Is the pull-up resistor actually needed? The web says that the NGC controller has a 745 ohm pull-up already.

Ok so after about 4 hours, i got the wires in the right place and everything seemed to be working fine except for rumble. i tried changing bool rumble to true but that did not seem to work. could it be the part about "// The last bit is rumble, flip it to rumble"?
Also, i used the second ground port on the digital I/O side for the gamecube cable "#3" ground and the n64 ground in your diagrams. Thank you for your time.

Nice project! I don't know if you already noticed it, but he is the link:

(I am aware that you probably do it in your spare time so dont feel obliged to do anything.)

You might want to make it clear in the documentation that if you don't want to use the rumble, you don't need to connect the 5V pin on the controller.
