PS2 Controller Addon DIY Gamepad

thingiverse

This is an addon for a ps2 controller. With this printed mount you can use these controllers for whatever you want. The ps2 controller is now a few years old but still a great controller with lots of buttons and stuff. For example: - control your rc-cars, robots or other projects wirelessly via wifi or bluetooth - use it to play games like the gamebuino projekt or the arduboy projekt - spend days, weeks or even month to get this thing working ;) The printed addon part is for: - holding the 18650 Batterie Shield to power the board - holding a 128 x 64 Pixels Oled display to show things - to hide the cables going inside the controller In the controller there are: - WEMOS D1 Mini ESP8266 Wifi Chip as brain of this whole thing - hc-05 bluetooth chip for bluetooth support - small smd speaker thing to make some noises - GY-521 gyroskop chip for measuring acceleration and orientation - a about 15cm long standart micro usb cable to upload new code or debug Note: To fit all of this inside the controller I had to remove the dualShock motors. But they would not work anyway because the 5 volts from the battery shield are to less. So vibration is not possilbe anymore. The most important software is the great PS2X_lib by bill porter. With it you can real all the analog and digital values from your ps2 controller. Here is a video of the arduboy game squario and a litte paint app I made: https://youtu.be/fIs_0kpH2-Y
