Designed in a similar form factor to the classic Nintendo NES controller, the controller:bit is equipped with a four-direction “D-pad” on the left side of the board and two action buttons on the right side of the board. The two push buttons on the micro:bit in the center function as start and select. The back of the board also includes poke-home connectors if you decide to go retro by connecting connect arcade buttons and switches. Check out the micro:arcade kit if you decide to build your very own arcade cabinet using the micro:bit!\n\nRepository Contents\n-------------------\n\n* **/Firmware** - Example code \n* **/Hardware** - Eagle design files (.brd, .sch)\n* **/Hardware/Production** - Production panel files (.brd)\n\nDocumentation\n--------------\n* **[Library](https://github.com/sparkfun/pxt-gamer-bit)** - PXT controller:bit firmware\n* **[Micro:Arcade Kit Experiment Guide](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/microarcade-kit-experiment-guide/)** -  Experiment guide using the controller:bit carrier board.\n* **[Wireless Remote Control with micro:bit](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/wireless-remote-control-with-microbit)** - Project guide using the micro:bot and micro:arcade kits.
