Pi In a NES Controller

Post by PIXeL_92 » Fri Dec 02, 2016 2:05 am

Hi All,

Thought I would share a project I have finished whilst waiting for the GBZ parts.

It uses an original NES pad, Pi Zero and a 3D printed base (will link this when I get home.)

Solder the buttons directly up to the GPIO pins and change a bit of code within RetroPie and its done.

I planned to do something like this before I even attempted a GBZ, but it never happened. Now that iv'e done two GBZ's and have an extra pi zero, maybe i'll do this too. Looking forward to when you post the STL file.
