N64 Controller object

CJ

Here is an object for reading a N64 controller.

I will be uploading this to the object exchange as well.

edit: Fixed a bug with the LSB of the Y axis being cut off

Hey CJ just FYI, all the sites that I have seen have said not to pull the data pin high it has an internal pull up resistor and thank you for making this.

the N64 has a pullup of some sort, I just metered the console itself. as well as trying the test code with no pullup, it gives lots of random data if there is no controller plugged in and no pullup

I wouldn't feed that data to any healthy robot. might break something if you don't have input smoothing

you don't have anything to be sorry for, you just voiced your concern about an inconsistency between whats on the internet and the circuit used for the object.
