I got a quick question about a micro controller i was looking at the Arduino Duemilanove controller and i was wondering what was the difference between the analog and digital pins. i know how to use pins and wire shit and things of that nature, but for some reason i have seemed to forget the difference any help?
P.S. I could use a micro controller to make like a game-pad or controller for my computer rite or would there be something better for that
I don't kniow annything about MC's.
I guess that the digital output only sends a 1 or a 0 while the analog out can send a whole range of signals.

i thought it was the other way around but i could be wrong
Microcontrollers are made to control things like robots or other hardware, not the other way around. They're usually pretty expensive, using one to make a game pad would be dumb considering you can get a USB game pad for like $20.
Hello good sir, [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=880827[/url]
We could help if you want. It may be possible to use the Arduino as a game controller of some kind, though you would have to do a ton of programming on the Arduino and the PC to get it working.
A better option is to go on Ebay, pick up a few gamepads and solder wires to the buttons on the PCB, though that isn't always easy.
Both ways you'll have to get your hands dirty.
Analog signals are continuous, and digital signals are discrete. That's the biggest difference
