SparkFun Thing Plus – ESP32 WROOM

The SparkFun ESP32 Thing Plus is the next step to get started with Espressif IoT ideations while still enjoying all the amenities of the original ESP32 Thing. Espressif’s ESP32 WROOM is a powerful WiFi and Bluetooth MCU module that targets a wide variety of applications. At the core of this module is the ESP32-D0WDQ6 chip which is designed to be both scalable and adaptive. To make the Thing Plus even easier to use, we’ve moved a few pins around to make the board Feather compatible and it utilizes our handy Qwiic Connect System which means no soldering or shields are required to connect it to the rest of your system.

The ESP32 Thing plus integrates a rich set of peripherals, ranging from capacitive touch sensors, SD card interface, Ethernet, high-speed SPI, UART, I2S and I2C. Thanks to the onboard ESP32 WROOM module, the SparkFun Thing Plus features 16MB of flash memory, 520kB of internal SRAM, an integrated 802.11 BGN WiFi transceiver and dual-mode Bluetooth capabilities, and a JST connector to plug in a LiPo battery.

Controller & Gamepad Tester

Controller Tester

You can begin testing your controller or gamepad by pressing a button or moving one of the analog sticks on your gamepad. When you press a button or move an analog stick, the illustration above should light up or display the movement of your analog stick. When we detect movement or button presses, the “Controller Detected” message will show up with your controller’s name in it. If you have multiple controllers or gamepads connected, then please try them one by one. Even though the illustration represents an Xbox controller, the test also works with other similar controllers.

Joystick Test Application

While experimenting with making my own controllers recently, I needed a nice visual way of testing them in Windows. As you can see it’s pretty simple and just shows a visual representation of each axis, POV and button. Currently it supports Joysticks with 8 axes, 4 POV and up to 128 buttons. I haven’t had a chance to test it with over 32 buttons so I would be interested to here from anyone who has such a device. It should work on XP upwards but I have only tested it on Windows 10 64 bit. You just need Net framework 3 and DirectX 9 to run it.

Gamepad

A gamepad is a type of video game controller held in two hands, where the fingers are used to provide input. They are typically the main input device for video game consoles. Gamepads generally feature a set of buttons handled with the right thumb and a direction controller handled with the left. The direction controller has traditionally been a four-way digital cross, also named a joypad, or alternatively a D-pad, and never called arrow keys, but most modern controllers additionally feature one or more analog sticks.

Thumb Joystick

This is a joystick very similar to the “Analog” joysticks on PS2 controllers. Directional movements are simply two potentiometers, one for each axis. Pots are ~10k each. This joystick also has a select button that is actuated when the joystick is pressed down. This is the breakout board for the thumb joystick SparkFun Thumb Joystick Breakout.

LaunchBox

LaunchBox was originally built as an attractive frontend for DOSBox, but has long since expanded to support both modern PC games and emulated console platforms. LaunchBox aims to be the one-stop shop for gaming on your computer, for both modern and historical games.

LaunchBox includes automated import processes for everything from modern Steam games to GOG classics, ROM files, MS-DOS games, and so much more. Box art and metadata is automatically downloaded from the LaunchBox Games Database, with excellent coverage for your games.

Doom (Video Game MS-DOS)

Doom is a video game series and media franchise created by John Carmack, John Romero, Adrian Carmack, Kevin Cloud, and Tom Hall. The focuses on the exploits of an unnamed space marine operating under the auspices of the Union Aerospace Corporation, who fights hordes of demons and the undead in order to save Earth from an apocalyptic invasion.

The original Doom is considered one of the first pioneering first-person shooter games, introducing to IBM-compatible computers features such as 3D graphics, third-dimension spatiality, networked multiplayer gameplay, and support for player-created modifications with the Doom WAD format.

SparkFun Joystick Shield Kit

The SparkFun Joystick Shield Kit contains all the parts you need to enable your Arduino with a joystick. The shield sits on top of your Arduino and turns it into a simple controller. Five momentary push buttons and a two-axis thumb joystick gives your Arduino functionality on the level of old Nintendo controllers. Soldering is required, but it’s relatively easy and requires minimal tools. We even have a step by step guide.

The momentary push buttons are connected to Arduino digital pins 2-6; when pressed they will pull the pin low. Vertical movement of the joystick will produce a proportional analog voltage on analog pin 0, likewise, horizontal movement of the joystick can be tracked on analog pin 1.

Joystick

A joystick is an input device consisting of a stick that pivots on a base and reports its angle or direction to the device it is controlling. Joysticks are often used to control video games, and usually have one or more push-buttons whose state can also be read by the computer. A popular variation of the joystick used on modern video game consoles is the analog stick. Joysticks are also used for controlling machines such as cranes, trucks, underwater unmanned vehicles, wheelchairs, surveillance cameras, and zero turning radius lawn mowers. This is a joystick very similar to the analog joysticks on PS2 controllers. Directional movements are simply two potentiometers, one for each axis. Pots are 10k Ohm each. This joystick also has a select button that is actuated when the joystick is pressed down.

Real-Time Operating System

A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system for real-time applications that processes data and events that have critically defined time constraints. A RTOS is distinct from a time-sharing operating system, such as Unix, which manages the sharing of system resources with a scheduler, data buffers, or fixed task prioritization in a multitasking or multiprogramming environment. Processing time requirements need to be fully understood and bound rather than just kept as a minimum. All processing must occur within the defined constraints. Real-time operating systems are event-driven and preemptive, meaning the OS is capable of monitoring the relevant priority of competing tasks, and make changes to the task priority. Event-driven systems switch between tasks based on their priorities, while time-sharing systems switch the task based on clock interrupts.

FreeRTOS

FreeRTOS is a real-time operating system kernel for embedded devices that has been ported to 35 microcontroller platforms. It is distributed under the MIT License. FreeRTOS is designed to be small and simple. It is mostly written in the C programming language to make it easy to port and maintain. It also comprises a few assembly language functions where needed, mostly in architecture-specific scheduler routines.

FreeRTOS is ideally suited to deeply embedded real-time applications that use microcontrollers or small microprocessors. This type of application normally includes a mix of both hard and soft real-time requirements. Soft real-time requirements are those that state a time deadline, but breaching the deadline would not render the system useless. For example, responding to keystrokes too slowly might make a system seem annoyingly unresponsive without actually making it unusable.
