If the tests were successful disconnect the Arduino from the PC.īefore putting everything together we want to take care of the software part first.

If the Arduino board itself is not recognized by Windows rewrite the code to the Arduino. If some of them are not working check your wiring. Press any of your buttons and see if something happens in the Test tab.Select the Arduino board and click Properties.Press the WindowsKey+R to open the Run dialog.Windows should detect the Arduino board automatically.Connect the Arduino to your Windows PC using a USB cable.After writing the code on the Arduino and soldering all buttons and the joystick you can test the controls.The joystick uses two potentiometers - so they have to be connected to the 5V power output of the Arduino.When connecting the joystick check the labeling of the pins and make sure you use the correct ones.Now you can connect all signal wires to the buttons.The ground line is connected to all of the buttons and the joystick. The pictures in this step and in "Step 4: Buttons (Hardware)" show all wiring points.Make sure you have finished "Step 3: Buttons (Software)" and wrote the code to the Arduino.Īlways double (and triple) check your soldering. When you have finished this step your device should look like the one on the second picture. In this step you'll need to solder 20+ wires - hurray.

We're going to start with the component most of the wires are connected to.

Secure the switch with hot glue (do not cover the pins too much).

Place a single soft switch onto the its socket.

Secure the shoulder buttons with a M3x14 hex screw.

Put the shoulder buttons into their holes (check orientation).

Secure the joystick with some hot glue.

Be careful as the plastic sockets could break if to much force is applied.

Put the PCBs on the sockets according to the picture and screw in the M2.5x8 torx screws.

Secure the display and component mount by screwing the screws you took from the display into the holes on the corners of the component mount.

Place the component mount on the display (check orientation).

Put the display into its place (check orientation).

(You can skip this step if you do not have the thread tap but be careful when screwing in the screws as the plastic sockets could break when too much force is applied.)

Use the M2.5 thread tap and slowly cut the thread into the holes.

Use the M2 drill bit to clean the screw holes.

When finished disconnect the Arduino board from the PC.Īfter this step your build should look like the one in the picture.

Write the code to the Arduino (in the menu bar: Sketch > Upload).

Select the correct port the Arduino is attached to (in the menu bar: Tools > Serial Port > COM x).Select the Arduino board (in the menu bar: Tools > Board > Arduino Leonardo).Connect the Arduino to your PC (it should be detected automatically if you are using Windows).If you connect the buttons in any other way you'll need to modify the attached code.If you connect the buttons like shown in the picture you can use the attached code.Go through Step 1: Installing the Library Load and write the Code:

I found a good instructable by GAMELASTER that shows how to install the required arduino libs: The Arduino will register the button clicks and joystick movement and send the signals to the Raspberry Pi via USB. In this step we want to write the button control code to the Arduino. These are examples and show the required properties of the parts. You do not have to buy the listed parts and material from given links. There is nothing more annoying than stopping your project because you have to wait for some small part being delivered. Make sure you have everything you need for the build. If you have any suggestions for improvements please let me know. If you find any mistakes or something is not clear feel free to tell me and I'll try to fix it. Please note that English is not my first language. You can also post ideas on how to improve the design. If you like the GamePi check out my page AraymBox for other versions and the upcoming devices. If you like it super affordable and simple you should take a look at the GamePi XS - a console in a controller.

PSP joystick instead of big playstation-like jocksticks.

Stereo speakers (the first one is mono).

Input is handled by an Arduino Micro Pro instead of a Teensy LC (even cheaper).

Cheaper: around $40 (the first one was $160).

It's an alteration of my first GamePi handheld which features a lot suggestions some users had: This instructable describes the build of a Raspberry Pi Zero W powered handheld emulation console.
