Ready Players 1 and 2? Double up on your MakeCode gaming with a Sync Cable! We got this Micro B USB to Micro B USB cable specially made to connect you and your frenemy for co-op fun or player-versus-player showdowns. Works with our PyBadges and PyGamer - we connected the JACDAC pin to the 5th ID pin of the Micro B cable so data can pass back and forth.
It's one meter long, so you and your cohort will have enough elbow room to button-mash without feeling too tethered to each other.
For an example MakeCode Arcade game that uses 2-player activity, follow this link to the forum post.
To test your cable, you can load this UF2 onto your PyGamer/PyBadge and connect together with this cable.
You can also use this cable for some USB-OTG uses, as long as your USB host is OK with the ID pin floating.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- MakeCode Arcade
- MakeCode Arcade is a free, beginner-friendly programming environment from Microsoft for making simple retro-style games, using either drag-and-drop blocks or text code such as JavaScript or Python. It runs in a web browser and can also target compatible handheld game devices.
- USB host
- A USB host is the side of a USB connection that controls attached devices, like a computer talking to a keyboard or flash drive. This matters because most microcontroller boards are normally USB devices, so adding USB host support lets them use common USB peripherals.
