- After searching far and wide, I was finally able to aquire the information
- to read the Uforce in "Analog Mode". This required a working, standard
- NES controller byte-read routine which I figured out studying the lores
- code for the PowerGlove for the Atari. After a little futzing around
- with timing values, I have come up with some code which works fine on
- my 7.14Mhz A1000 w/68010 and WB 2.04. It probably will not work perfectly
- on accelerated machines, but give it a try.
-
- These routines use the same cable as the hires Amiga PowerGlove hack.
- Notice that this is not the same cable as the "Amazing Computing Tech"
- PowerMouse hack from the first issue; I didn't feel like translating lots
- of Modula-2 code to C. The first step to use this software is build
- the cable. Next, *POWER OFF YOUR AMIGA* and plug the cable into the
- parallel port and the Uforce. I cannot emphasize this enough... *TURN
- OFF YOUR AMIGA BEFORE PLUGGING IN EXPANSION DEVICES*! The program 'lores'
- will read any directional NES controller (Zappers and PowerPads are not
- directional) and provide a visual translation of what the byte coming
- back from the controller is and what buttons are pressed. The program
- 'reader' will read a Uforce in "Analog Mode"; make sure that you have
- selected mode "F", which is DOWN-DOWN-DOWN-?. The fourth switch controls
- the location of sensor 5; read Uforce.c for more details.
