Controlling the universe
Nick Evanson
Show affiliationsBasic electronic devices have been used to great effect with console computer games. This paper looks at a range of devices from the very simple, such as microswitches and potentiometers, up to the more complex Hall effect probe. There is a great deal of relatively straightforward use of simple devices in computer games systems, and having read this article you will hopefully be in a position to bring these ideas into the classroom across a broad spectrum of age ranges.
