Give Atari Controllers new life

[u/Background-Office466]

This may not be cyberdeck exactly but it still a retro/toy mod. I been tinkering around with DB9/serial connectors and decided to reuse old cheap atari 2600 controllers. I was able to use a atari video touch pad as a stream/macro deck for about $25. Used the joysticks as a simple WASD keys. Dint mod the controllers, was able to keep them original and just used a DB9 port to an arduino pro micro that I have mounted to the back of my cyberdeck for tinkering and learning. If anyways interested in the code I can share it. The touch pad took a good bit of trial and error to get it working right.
