Hello-

Our hackerspace has been working with kids in Scratch at local schools, Makerfaire and the library, so I've been messing with plugging joysticks into the Picoboard. First video in a series is up on the simplest way:

We're trying to do these from the perspective of working with a student completely new to modding hardware, so I will be making them more complex as the series continues. We invite suggestions, esp if the vids aren't clear on what to do.

The next ones will be for using scavenged thumb joysticks from broken game controllers and then modding a broken nunchuck, because there are a lot of those around.
