Arcade Controller Made With Petunia

This arcade controller was made by myself and my good friend Chris. It uses Petunia and LUFA to connect to any computer that supports USB joysticks.

Petunia: Prototypes Have Arrived!

Very exciting news, Petunia has arrived! In the first post, I talked all about what prompted me to create Petunia, and some of the methods involved in creating the circuit board. Now the circuit boards have arrived, I have practiced the hot-plate soldering technique and have working prototypes to develop code on.

I was messing with the fellows at the Sparkfun tent at Maker Faire and I hear Laura calling me over. I know it's something good if she's dragging me away from Sparkfun. So I walk over and see some etched copper circuit boards.
