Arduino Nes controller, Please Help!

AWOL:
{SIGH}

Serial.print(output, BYTE);
Serial.write (output);

cmon im not that stupid. i already tried that.

Must...resist...

Quite.

Here's the error message I got with that one change:

Binary sketch size: 2508 bytes (of a 14336 byte maximum)

Over to you.

well when you process it, nothing, i got no errors with processing... so...

well when you process it, nothing,

I have no idea what that means.

well night, ive been trying to solve this for 8+ hours now. its 3am, bye

I've already got Processing, thank you, what I don't have is a NES controller.
Have you tried serial debugging your Arduino?

const int latch = 2;
const int clock = 3;
const int data  = 4;

#define latchlow digitalWrite(latch, LOW)
#define latchhigh digitalWrite(latch, HIGH)
#define clocklow digitalWrite(clock, LOW)
#define clockhigh digitalWrite(clock, HIGH)
#define dataread digitalRead(data)
#define wait delayMicroseconds(200)

byte output;

void setup() 
{
	Serial.begin(9600);
	pinMode(latch, OUTPUT);
        pinMode(clock, OUTPUT);
        pinMode(data, INPUT);
}

void loop() 
{
  output = 0;
  ReadNESjoy();
 // Serial.write(output);
  Serial.println ((unsigned int)output);
}


void ReadNESjoy() 
{
  latchlow;
  clocklow;
  latchhigh;
  wait;
  latchlow;
  for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
     clockhigh;
     wait;
     output += dataread * (1 << i);
     clocklow;
     wait;
  }
}

See what you get in the serial monitor.

i dont know how to debug, and when i serial monitor, i get a bunch of "0"

Craftee:
so i have this old peice of code here, and i get an error saying "The 'BYTE' keyword is no longer supported" so what do i use instead? please help!

This is a really confusing thread. I got the impression until the last post or so that you hadn't solved the above problem, after all the begging for help.

Instead, you have solved it and replaced it with another one (the sketch compiles but doesn't do what you expect).

You could have made that a lot clearer, instead of:

well when you process it, nothing, i got no errors with processing... so...

C'mon on, we can't read minds.

Copy and paste what you get in the serial monitor.

and it spams it, nonstop

So, what does that tell you?

How have you wired it up? A very clear photo would help answer that.

What happens if you press buttons on the controller, or move things? Getting zero seems to say to me nothing is pressed.

even if i press something i still get nothing. just "0"

I honestly can't tell from that if you followed the instructable or not. Let's hope.

what do you mean?.
