Dome Paddle

Summary

Replaces the wired dome paddle with an arduino driven wireless paddle. Uses a game controller and a single arduino to recieve and connect directly to the telescopes traditional dome paddle circuitry. We're using an wireless X-Box 360 controller and receiver.

USB Host Shield Notes

Game controller is supported as part of the USB Host Shield library

The shield uses pins 9-13 on an Arduino Uno.

The shield is using SPI for communicating with the MAX3421E USB host controller. It uses the SCK, MISO and MOSI pins via the ICSP on your board.

Note this means that it uses pin 13, 12, 11 on an Arduino Uno, so these pins can not be used for anything else than SPI communication!

Furthermore it uses one pin as SS and one INT pin. These are by default located on pin 10 and 9 respectively. (SCK, MISO and MOSI pins via the ICSP on your board).
