These are Arduino Libraries for interfacing with Nintendo Game Pads. If you are using a Super Nintendo game pad, replace nes with snes everywhere below.

Installation

1. Copy the NESpad folder into your Arduino/hardware/libraries folder.
2. Restart the Arduino IDE

Usage

To use this library in a sketch, go to the Sketch | Import Library menu and select NESpad. This will add a corresponding include line to the top of your sketch.

Making Changes to the Library

After a successful build of this library, a new file named NESpad.o will appear in Arduino/hardware/libraries/NESpad. This file is the built/compiled library code.

If you choose to modify the the code for this library in the .cpp or .h files, then you must first unbuild the library by deleting its .o file. The new .o with your code will appear after the next press of "verify"
