Interactive Joystick Game with Arduino and LED Feedback

About this project

This is a project that uses a generic joystick and using the Arduino reads the +y and -y values and the +x and -x values and using a series of if and else statements will tell the 5 leds which led to turn on for ex: If you rock the joystick to the left your left led will light up. Another feature is that if your joystick has a button (most will) it will light up your button for your press down feature.
