+  Esplora Kart
+
+  This sketch turns the Esplora into a PC game pad.
+
+  It uses the both the analog joystick and the four switches.
+  By moving the joystick in a direction or by pressing a switch,
+  the PC will "see" that a key is pressed. If the PC is running
+  a game that has keyboard input, the Esplora can control it.
+  
+  The default configuration is suitable for SuperTuxKart, an
+  open-source racing game. It can be downloaded from
+  http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/ .
