Cardboard Boxcade Project Details
Cardboard Boxcade
Custom physical controls for browser-based HTML/Javascript applications.
Description
This project explores using low-cost, commodity components to create custom physical interfaces. This initial version is built into a cardboard box and uses household light switches and dimmer knobs as inputs, and an Amazon Fire tablet running a full-screen web browser as the display. The inputs are attached via alligator clips to a battery-powered, breadboarded ESP32-PICO-KIT that communicates input state changes to the Fire Tablet via WiFi.
