SpaceOrb 360 #RetroAdafruit⁣ ⁣.⁣ ⁣Over the past couple of weeks we’ve fabricated a number of accelerometers and 6- and 9-DOF boards. So why not take a stroll down Nostalgia Lane with this 6-DOF controller from 1996? Can you believe it was originally going to be called the “Spaceball Avenger II”? Amazing. ⁣ ⁣.⁣ ⁣.⁣ ⁣Each of the 6 axes have 10-bit precision, and the whole chonky thing interfaces through an RS-232 serial port and custom binary protocol. Its rendering machine gave complete freedom-of-motion, making great gameplay with “Quake” and “Descent II”. You may remember when we posted Logitech’s similar Cyberman controller. ⁣ ⁣.⁣ ⁣.⁣ ⁣.⁣ ⁣#diyelectronics #retroelectronics #retrogaming #retrocontroller #retrocontrollers #90sgaming #90sgamingsystem #quake #6DOF #vintagecontroller
