How do I get input???

Other Hardware Sensors

How do I attach analog sticks, buttons and potentiometers and turn them into PC input, so like turn my arduino into a pc gaming device? and if so, how would I add universal input for any application/game???

Start with the tutorials, and example scripts.
have you loaded any example scripts onto your arduino yet?
Have you written any scripts yet?

It may be a longer process to get from here to there than you might think. Have patience, and persistence.

As far as a universal input for games, you can emulate a USB device with some Arduino hardware so you could send (for example) mouse movements via pots.

Enthusiasm is one criteria :wink:

Buttons/switches are easy to read. Set them up in setup(), read them in loop(), take an action:

void setup(){
pinMode (2, INPUT_PULLUP);
}

void loop(){
  if (digitalRead(2) == LOW){
  // button is pressed (connecting 2 to Gnd), do some action
  }
}

Reading pots is similar

int analogInput = analogRead(A0);
// do some action based on value read

The complicated part is deciding what to do with the inputs once you've received them.
