Team 13 - Toy Ship - currently not functional
Our chosen prototype is a model ship with controls relating to the ship's in-game functions. X-axis control is performed by tilting the controller left and right, while Y-axis control is through a top-mounted potentiometer located where the engines would be. The firing control is situated where the pilot hatch would be and consists of a simple button that activates when the hatch is closed.
That is how it should be working.
Currently, there are some major issues. The physical part of the LoFi prototype is fine; the wiring is solid, and the board provides the proper space for the player to test the functionality of the controller. However, the main issue we are having is with the code; our prototype is primarily experiencing problems with the accelerometer. Despite various attempts, the controller keeps misreading and only registers the left arrow button for controls. The rest of the controls are sporadic; they usually read properly, but the accelerometer issue makes it hard to tell.
As for the video showing it in action, there is none since it doesn't work.
Here are the pictures of the LoFi circuitry:
