Custom game pad / controller for electronic projects

Special thanks to 2LBN and averypierce who designed the parts I used to create the controller!


This is a general game pad which can be used for electronic projects. It is based on the Wiimote holder designed by 2LBN and has enough room for two buttons, some LEDs, a MPU6050 gyro sensor and an ESP32. Power supply is realized by two wire cable, but maybe there is anyone who has an idea for a solution with batteries?

We used the game pad as a controller for a private project to play Pong in a multiplayer version on a 16x32 LED matrix. The communication is realized via BLE and Wifi / MQTT. I guess that there are several other application it could be used for.

The button files are added to ensure backwards compatibility in case of changes in the original button files.

The Blender files are added as well if someone wants to modify the controller.
