gbaHD case PS4 controller

thingiverse

A 3d printed case for the Gameboy advance to hdmi output converter as designed by Zwenergy: https://github.com/zwenergy/gbaHD Designed around the Gameboy advance motherboard and Seeed Spartan fpga board, in combination with an Arduino uno, usb shield & usb dongle, such that you can play using for example a Playstation 4 controller (instead of using an SNES controller port like most other designs). The device is powered using a 12 V adapter. The usb shield used in this build is the usb host shield v2.0 (https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0) with the corresponding software library. Make sure not to forget to solder the correct bridges on the shield before using it, as otherwise the shield will not be powered correctly! You can then either use the shield together with a generic bluetooth dongle (I used this one: https://www.amazon.nl/TP-Link-UB400-Bluetooth-Computer-Ondersteunt/dp/B07NQ5YGDW/ref=asc_df_B07NQ5YGDW/?tag=nlshogostdde-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=430509123063&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5324502455873772285&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1001118&hvtargid=pla-670160183959&psc=1), or directly connect your controller to the shield via a usb cable. Be careful with plugging in the dongle/usb cables as the usb-port on my shield turned out to be very fragile. The case does not need any support for printing & all components can be screwed down securely using some small M2 & M1.5 screws. The top plate is cut from 3mm thick plexiglass and then engraved using a lasercutter. 2 small metallic plates are glued to the bottom, which, in combination with 2 small 10mmx5mm magnets inside the case keep the top plate fixed in place. All ports for the Arduino/fpga are still accessible once assembled (sd-card slot, usb c port, hdmi port & micro usb port for Arduino).
