First Home Video Gaming Controller

thingiverse

I've been curious about the first video game controller and how it stacked up against modern controllers. Some digging led me to the 1972 Magnavox Odyssey controller, but used systems are selling for hundreds of dollars on Ebay. I decided to create my own low-cost replica of the controller using an Arduino Pong DIY kit to make it functional. Here's a video that shows how I designed and got it up and running: https://youtu.be/bUvZBO1EuII Please consider heading over to my YouTube channel and subscribing, as this is the best way to show your appreciation and keep me designing new projects. To build this controller, you'll need some additional items beyond 3D printed parts, including a potentiometer, Arduino Uno, etc. A full parts list is included with the STL files. STL quantities to print: Main Body, First Gaming Controller {QTY 1x} Left Knob, First Gaming Controller {QTY 1x} Right Knob, First Gaming Controller {QTY 1x} Top Plate, First Gaming Controller {QTY 1x} Potentiometer Bracket, First Gaming Controller {QTY 1x}
