Xberry Pi Dual Joystick adaptor

It’s Tiny!

Mr Dom Superfro knocked up a schematic to allow two joysticks to be used on the Xberry-Pi. I’ve thus tweaked my small triangular Adaptinator PCB to be more rectangular and having ‘stuff’ on it

The Thing is tiny. I’ll work on a 3D printed shell for it also to be used with non cased X-Berry Pi’s!

Lots of house rennovations, busy at work, hoping to get some tinkering time in May!

Something Old, Something new. Joystick Upgrade!

Some time ago, I ordered a Joystick from Retroradionics.

In Transparent Black! Has a few nice features, such as Autofire on two buttons, and togglable mode for C64 or Atari for example.

Inside, there’s a PCB that looks quite bare

So, I did gone glitz it up a little.
I figured that a joystick could do with some LED’s, there’s plenty of space inside for big ones!

and, maybe it could have some extra functionality

I started here – Knocking up a schematic – this is maybe rev 20!

So, after knocking up a schematic, I measured up and drew a PCB , well, had a little help from the developer of the joystick who sent me some dimensions of his PCB to get started with!

Always print 1:1 before ordering!
