Designing and fabricating assistive technology accessories for the XBox Adaptive Controller #AssistiveTechnology #XAC @ATMakers @Microsoft @MSFTGameDev

ATMakers has been hard at work making customized controllers for the new Microsoft XBox Adaptive Controller.

Adafruit is dedicated to helping provide electronics to include Circuit Playground Express and CircuitPython code to help in making Assistive Technology easy for designers to build custom solutions. For a sample of Adafruit’s work, see the tutorial DIY Adaptive Game Controllers in the Adafruit Learning System by John Park.

The video below goes through what they’ve come up with and shows how 8 of them will work.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
