Arduino controller

Post by facelessloser » Sun Jan 20, 2019 5:07 am

I needed a controller to use while testing different hardware with retropie. I basically used a joystick library with a arduino pro micro. Luckily it had just enough pins (12 digital) for a d-pad a b x y and shoulder buttons plus start and select

I made my own shoulder buttons because I couldn't find any soft touch right angle buttons. Its just a PCB that connects the buttons SMD pads to 2 thought hole pads so you can solder on 2 right angle male headers.

Hardware list
  • Arduino pro micro
  • 10 SMD soft touch buttons
  • 2 x L and R custom button PCB
  • 4 x M3 standoffs
