Alternative Controller (Fanthome)
During the Global Game Jam, we made an alternative controller in order to make something which was between a toy and a video game.
We had the opportunity to show case it at the gazette café, on Monday 4th February 2019.
Here is the video demonstration:
And here is the source code : https://github.com/maditnerd/fanthome_controller/
I discover, you can use an Arduino Micro as a gamepad and a serial device at the same time.
You can manage the inputs with the gamepad, while keeping the possibilities to manage output with serial (for LCD displays / leds ...).
The first version used this library : https://github.com/relativty/wrmhl
There is also a plugin to use mqtt in unity, which can be an interesting way to make a 3D interface for home automation (no really useful but could make a pretty neat demo!)
