Arduino Gamepad Shield acts as Arduino Shield via 1Sheeld Buy 1Sheeld

Use your smartphone touch screen as a game pad. This shield allows you to control things with your smart phone
like robotics, hackable quad-copters …etc.

This shield is one of the I/O shields. I/O shields provides simple function of using your smartphone as input or output to Arduino.Learn more from the I/O shields tutorial.

Also in 1Sheeld

Gamepad Library converts your smartphone to a gamepad so that you can control any physical objects as motors, lights or even more attached to your Arduino board.

Adding #define CUSTOM_SETTINGS along with #define INCLUDE_GAMEPAD_SHIELD is a key that will let you unlock the GamePad shield only amongst all shields and prevent 1Sheeld library from eating your memory specially for UNO board.

void setOnButtonChange(void(*userFunction)(unsigned char,unsigned char,unsigned char,unsigned char,unsigned char,unsigned char,unsigned char,unsigned char))

Sets a certain individual function written by the user in the sketch to be called and runs its functionality once a button is pressed on gamepad in the application then sends an acknowledgement to Arduino.

 

SYNTAX
GamePad.setOnButtonChange(&userFunctionName);

 

RETURNS
None.

 

PARAMETERS
&userFunctionName: takes the physical address of the userFunction in the memory and jump to it once called to execute it’s functionality.

 

USAGE
GamePad.setOnButtonChange(&myFunction);
/* myFunction exists under the loop function. */
/* This function will be invoked each time a new button of the gamepad is pressed. */

void myFunction (unsigned char upButton , unsigned char downButton ,unsigned char leftButton, unsigned char rightButton ,unsigned char orangeButton ,unsigned char redButton,unsigned char greenButon ,unsigned char blueButton)
{
     /* Turn on the led once any button is pressed*/
     if(upButton)
      {
         pinMode(pin13 ,OUTPUT);
         digitalWrite(pin13 ,HIGH);
      }
