PDInputTester
A downloadable tool

A simple tool to verify all of the different input mechanisms on your Playdate console are working.
Note: it turns out a much better Input Test is built into the system: Settings > Diagnostics > Input Test. Use that instead!
Checks the following input sources:
- D-pad
- A and B buttons
- Microphone
- Accelerometer
- Crank
PDInputTester is released into the public domain. View the source code.
