PS2 Controller Addon DIY Gamepad

thingiverse

This is an add-on for a PS2 controller. With this printed mount, you can use these controllers for whatever you want. The PS2 controller is now a few years old but still a great controller with lots of buttons and features. For example: - Control your RC cars, robots or other projects wirelessly via WiFi or Bluetooth. - Use it to play games like the Gamebuino Project or the Arduboy Project. - Spend days, weeks, or even months getting this thing working. The printed add-on part is for holding the 18650 Battery Shield to power the board, a 128 x 64 Pixels OLED display to show things, and to hide cables going inside the controller. In the controller, there are: - Wemos D1 Mini ESP8266 WiFi Chip as the brain of this whole thing. - HC-05 Bluetooth Chip for Bluetooth support. - Small SMD speaker thing to make some noises. - GY-521 Gyroskop Chip for measuring acceleration and orientation. - A about 15cm long standard micro USB cable to upload new code or debug. Note: To fit all of this inside the controller, I had to remove the DualShock motors. But they would not work anyway because the 5 volts from the battery shield are too little. So vibration is not possible anymore. The most important software is the great PS2X_lib by Bill Porter. With it, you can read all the analog and digital values from your PS2 controller.
