for use in GameLab to translate joystick/button presses to keypresses via Arduino Leonardo
// Reads arduino digital pins and maps them to USB Joystick library
// NOTE: This sketch file is for use with Arduino Leonardo and Arduino Micro only.
// MODIFIED by Lee2sman 2016-11-18
// REQUIRES ArduinoJoystickLibrary by Matthew Heironimus
// Download at https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary/tree/version-1.0
// This uses the Joystick (not Joystick2 or Joystick3) library. Unzip, drop it in your arduino / libraries folder
// Then flash to your Leonardo or Micro board. Use Enjoy2 (Mac) or Joy2Key (PC) to map it to button presses for a game.

Jekyll 101: Creating a new post and page

One of the features that made me fall in love with Jekyll was how super simple it was to start a new project. With one command jekyll new project_name you've got a brand new Jekyll project to start working on.

Posts

If your new Jekyll project is going to be used for blogging, you'll want to create posts for your new blog.

Jekyll by default provides a folder in which all your posts live. Within the Jekyll project, you'll find a folder called _posts. To create a new post you'll need to create a new markdown file with a file name in this format:

YYYY-MM-DD-title.markdown
