[Rich] needed to find up with a senior style job as well as made a decision to integrate two things he loved: his Android phone as well as incredibly Nintendo.
While touchscreen phones are great, he felt that nothing beats the tactile comments of a physical controller when it pertains to gaming. He figured out exactly how the controller’s signaling works, then wired it as much as an Arduino pro tiny 328. The Arduino interprets the SNES controller’s signals, sending them to his Android phone by means of a BlueSMiRF Bluetooth module.
He originally had all of the elements crammed in a cardboard box, however much like we explained yesterday, he realized that a job truly comes together when housed in a appropriate enclosure. He handled to capture all of his elements into the SNES controller’s shell aside from the battery pack he utilized to power the remote. After a bit bit of Bondo as well as a few coats of paint were applied, the controller is looking rather sharp.
Stick around to see a quick demo video of his controller in action, as well as inspect out this tutorial he put together describing a few of the principles he utilized to build it.
