Heroes & Shadows Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) How can you send data out of the controller port, specifically the 2nd controller port. If I remember correctly Androman on the Moon would send commands to the Androman robot via the controller port which is why the game crashes everytime you lose a life. This means it's definitely possible, the question is how to go about it. Edited November 4, 2018 by Heroes & Shadows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haroldoop Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 AFAIK, the paddle pins can be used as output ports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHairy Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 AFAIK, the paddle pins can be used as output ports. Nope, the paddle pins are analog. However, the eight digital pins for joystick 1 + 2 that are controlled by the RIOT can be used as GPIO pins. Iirc there is a bitbanging RS232 implementation floating around on the forums.

Heroes & Shadows Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 I was thinking of hooking up 2 Atari 2600 via the controller ports. A diagram to follow: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
