Pong interactive game for Raspberry Pi

This project is a video game based around a Raspberry Pi using an analogue to digital converter to read the positions of potentiometers. It was created for a tutorial in The MagPi magazine #133

Pong Video Game for a Raspberry Pi

The game is a two player game. There are two paddle controllers (potentiometers) which are connected to the Raspberry Pi using an MCP3008 analogue-to-digital converter.

Wiring diagram

See the wiring diagram for details of how to wire up the circuit. The circuit uses 10kΩ linear potentiometers and an MCP3008 analogue to digital convertor.
