# NESpad & SNESpad
These are Arduino Libraries for interfacing with Nintendo Game Pads. If you are using a Super Nintendo game pad, replace `nes` with `snes` everywhere below.
## Installation
1. Copy the `NESpad` folder into your `Arduino/hardware/libraries` folder.
2. Restart the Arduino IDE
## Usage
To use this library in a sketch, go to the `Sketch | Import Library` menu and
select NESpad. This will add a corresponding include line to the top of your sketch.
## Making Changes to the Library
After a successful build of this library, a new file named `NESpad.o` will appear
in `Arduino/hardware/libraries/NESpad`. This file is the built/compiled library
code.
If you choose to modify the the code for this library in the .cpp or .h files,
then you must first _unbuild_ the library by deleting its .o file. The
new .o with your code will appear after the next press of "verify"
## Hardware
### NES Joystick connector pinout
```
(1) GND <- Brown
White -> +5V (5) (2) CLOCK <- Red
NC (6) (3) STROBE <- Orange
NC (7) (4) DATA <- Yellow
```
### SNES Joystick connector pinout
```
(1) +5V
(2) CLOCK
(3) STROBE
(4) DATA
(5) NC
(6) NC
(7) GND
```
