Mikromedia Gaming Shield Library Video

Today I would like to show you a new software library for the MikroElektronika Mikromedia system. The new Gaming Shield Library makes it easier to develop code that will run on both Microchip dsPIC and PIC32 microcontrollers.

Check out my blog post on the mikromedia gaming shield library for more details.
Available for dsPIC33 and PIC32

You can use the file "gaming-shield.h" in your projects to interface with the MMB Gaming Shield. The included example Visual TFT project file "mmbInput.vtft" shows a demo of the Gaming Shield Input Library.

The code was written using MikroC Pro for PIC32 and dsPIC33 and VisualTFT 2.70.

Installation

  1. Install Firmware: Flash the firmware file mmbInput-dsPIC33.hex to your Mikromedia dsPIC33 board or the firmware file mmbInput-PIC32.hex to your mikromedia PIC32 board.
  2. Copy the resource file mmbInput.RES to your Mikromedia board's SD card.
  3. Get ready to try out the Gaming Shield Library! You can press any of the buttons on the gaming shield and see the icons on the screen update. The status LED icons on the MMB touch screen will respond to your input and turn the gaming shield LEDs ON or OFF. The lower right part of the MMB screen will indicate the current microprocessor with the text "dsPIC" or "PIC32".

The python based thumbstick.py demo allows you to read a MikroElektronika Thumbstick Click board on a Raspberry PI using the GPIO and SPI inputs via a Pi Click Shield. The Thumbstick Click board uses an SPI based MCP3204 module for reading the joystick axes and the joystick "center click" button is read using the GPIO input 17 on the Raspberry Pi.
