This file describes how controller wires map to arduino pins
|
||
|
|
Format is: <Arduino pin> - <controller wire>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GND - gnd
|
||
|
|
5V - vdd (+5V)
|
||
|
|
2 - down
|
||
|
|
3 - up
|
||
|
|
4 - right
|
||
|
|
5 - left
|
||
|
|
6 - A (B in SELECT +5V)
|
||
|
|
7 - Start (C in SELECT +5V)
|
||
|
|
8 - select (NOT to be confused with the select/mode button)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The female connector for sega genesis should roughly map out like this

8 - GND

9 - Start (C in Select +5V)

P.S: The select pin on the controller doesn't manage the select button - it manages the set of buttons to be read by the controller. Be sure to check that it's actually connected to the arduino board.
