STEP 3

How to use your Piper Command Center Controller:

  1. Click down on the Joystick to toggle between control states
    1. In Mouse Mode (default), the joystick controls cursor movement and the left and right buttons mimic left and right mouse clicks.
    2. In Keyboard Mode, the joystick mimics the arrow keys on a keyboard, and the buttons mimic Space Bar (Up), Z (Left), X (Down), and C (Right) keys on a keyboard.
    3. If the code is working, check out the Resources section at the bottom of the Project Hub to play video games or learn more with Arduino & Processing (p5.js).

     

    STEP 4

    Reattach Controller Piece #7 or #8.
