Donkey Kong Controller Alternative

The aim of this project is to create a Dokey Kong controller using an Arduino Nano, where the player controls Mario via a chair. Each movement made with the chair will perform a specific action. Sensors are used to identify which legs of the chair are raised or lowered. The cardboard base is used to define where the chair has to stand.

Materials:

1 Arduíno Nano

1 USB Cable

Cardboard base with holes to hold the chair

Hot glue for assembly

Female cables to connect the sensors to the arduino

Door sensors

1 Chair

Adhesive tape for assembly

Arcade emulator

The controls are:

Tilt chair left - go left

Tilt chair right - go right

Tilt back - go back

Tilt forward - go forward

Tile chair - jump

This command is designed to play Donkey Kong on an emulator that can read python files.

We´ll provide photos of the tests and the documents.
