[comp.robotics] nintendo controllers

jkonrath@silver.ucs.indiana.edu (jon) (12/14/90)

I've been seeing a lot of neat interactive controllers for the NES
pop up lately. which has me wondering:


1] anyone actually tear into a power glove? how do they work?

2] anyone know pinouts on the NES controllers, so i can adapt them
to a PC?

A while ago there was an indepth disection discussion on sci.electronics
which covered a lot of the details. You should ask there.

Read the July 1990 issue of BYTE, pp. 283-289. I believe it will answer
both of your above questions.
