This is a game that is controlled by the arduino with a JOYSTICK. The game is writen in Python using libraries Pygame and pyserial.

Before running the codes check out the follwing:

Connect the Arduino to your computer using a USB cable

Connect the Joystick to the arduino

The +5V and GND on the joystick are connected to the Arduino respectively the same way

Open the Joystick.ino file in the Arduino IDE and check out if:

int JSx = A0; // VRx value on the Jostick is connected to A0 on the Arduino
int JSy = A2; // VRy value on the Jostick is connected to A2 on the Arduino
int JSpin = 9; // Sw value on the Jostick is connected to 9 on the Arduino

After customizing the File Upload it to the Arduino Uno and exit.

To install pygame in your everonment

pip install pygame

Ton install pyserial in your everonment

pip install pyserial

Check this line:

arduinoData = serial.Serial("/dev/ttyACM0", 9600)

You can check the port by:

1.Open the Arduino IDE.

2.Click on Tools in the menu bar and select Port from the drop-down menu.

3.The port that the Arduino is using will be highlighted in the list. Take note of the port number (e.g., COM3).

Alternatively in linux you can check the port number by:

1.Open a terminal window.

2.Run the following command to list all the serial ports:

ls /dev/tty*

3.Look for a port name that starts with /dev/ttyUSB or /dev/ttyACM. The number at the end may vary depending on your system and the number of connected devices.

4.Take note of the port name (e.g., /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM1) that the Arduino is using.

After making sure that all the Files and settings are well configured, you can run the project by running the main.py file using the following command:

python main.py

Or use your Text Editor to run the project if it is capable of doig so! 😂
