A wireless SNES controller

A few years ago way back in 2016 I worked on a wireless SNES controller and it's actually one of the very few projects I have worked on that's mostly finsihed! :rofl2: I made a few video's back then and thought it would be nice to put them on my newly created youtube channel! (got the idea to create one from @jeffyTheHomebrewer and his post on reaching 100+ subs here)

Finally a video of something I really made myself! :D

Both the sending and the receiving side are running my own written arduino sketches. But I do use a few libraries for I think the wireless module and to draw the gamepad on that little LCD. The image it'self is drawn using primitives hand placed by me though! :)

There are more video's of me testing it when it got more "portable" than in this video...but I need to see if they are "youtube ready" first :P Those who follow my blogs might know what kind of video's I am going to post the most there, hahaha :rofl2:. But to start I thought it was nice to show something else for a change. :wink:

The transmitter is universal and just needs a receiver for the platform you want. This is not using bluetooth though...and the only receiver I ever made was just an arduino pretending to be a USB gamepad. Or I guess it actually is a gamepad...just receiving it's inputs over the air! :wink:

So if there is an adapter for the ipad that let's you connect normal USB devices....then it should already work! :D I have tested it with a SNES emulator on a Samsung android tablet and it worked great! :D

hmmm, seems good. And I do have some adapters somewhere. True though about all the wires you need for controllers, and other devices that are needed to connect. an Thank you

Yeah, even for the android tablet I needed a USB OTG cable to connect my receiver. I did manage to reduce the entire mess of wires to just the gamepad itself! The arduino, transmitter, charger and battery are all inside of it! My only regret now is that I put a USB mini connector in it....almost have no cables left that use it! :lol:

There USB receiver is as small as an NDS game...used a thirdparty protection case for it! I'll upload some pictures of it later.;)

    Mama mia wouldn't forget meatballs in her spaghetti. :P
  • Sonic Angel Knight @ Sonic Angel Knight:
    Speaking of meatballs, what's the deal with meatball sandwich? How can people eat those? It's ROUND. Trying to bite those in a sandwich is a challenge. It's easier to eat a burger stacked with toppings. :ninja:
