Havenโt posted here in a while:
Iโm off work for the holidays, so I figured it was a good time to make a #USB joystick for my AIO emulation TV.
My main design goal here is to exclusively use parts I already have. In this case, itโs the electronics from a very cheap USB controller that came in a pack of 2 for $5. Iโm housing it in the storage case from a Sony Betamax video tape, with a microswitch joystick, buttons, wires, and breadboards leftover from other projects.
I have the parts tested and working, and now Iโm dremeling out the holes, and mounting the rest of buttons and circuits on the bread board. The dremeling sucks because Sony went overboard on this case. Aside from protecting a tape, Iโm pretty sure this thing could stop a bullet. ๐
