Hacklet #6 - PS2 Taiko no Tatsujin controller with Raspberry Pi

So, taken me a few days to get the time to record the video, but here is the next installment!

The reason for working with the PS2 dualshock controller was, apart from some intriguing possibilities with connecting games controllers to iOS games / apps, was to try getting the Taiko no Tatsujin controller to work with iPad. I loved the arcade version of this game and was almost tempted to buy a Japanese or American PS2 specifically for this game (stupid region locks).

Again using USB Overdrive, I was able to confirm that the TnT controller worked in exactly the same way as the dualshock controller and therefore would work with the RPi in exactly the same way.

So using exactly the same python program as for the dualshock comtroller - we have ourselves a drum pad!

Obviously there is loads of latency, but it proves the concept!
