The N64 controller itself would only need one or two tiny modifications, all the stuff would be in the rumble pack. This way you wouldn't need a LiPo battery, 3.3V voltage regulator, recharge IC, etc. The rumble pack would also provide voltage via 2x AA batteries. Once the large vibrating motor is discarded there's plenty of room for the microcontroller and the wireless transmitter. That led to the idea of integrating the whole wireless circuit into a rumble pack:

Somehow I thought I'd be cool to integrate a large LiPo battery into a memory card's case or something. Right now I'm working on the N64 transmitter. I have resumed work and I hope I can finish it within the next 3 or 4 weeeks, but I can't promise. I'm looking forward to a tutorial, Micro! Quote from: public-pervert on August 22, 2011, 11:41:28 PM What about a small LED low battery indicator ? A low power comparator like the lm2903 could be used. Well, to resolve the problem of using the two(1player and 2player ports/3 and 4 p) rf receivers on the N64,you have a few options.ī- a dual version which has two joypad plugs in one bigger shellĬ- The N64 joypad plugs, come out of the rf receiver's shell ,on a short cable.As we're dealing with Rf and not IR ,the user doesn't have to worry about losing line of sight with the RF's shell laying on their unit or near the console. You can see a regular controller may be plugged in besides the receiver, but 2 receivers side by side are to wide I'm afraid. This way I don't have to open the receiver to (re-)flash the microcontroller. It was also the first time I made the programming port accessible from the outside. As always I've drilled out some holes and used plenty of hot glue on the parts that get stressed mechanically. Yesterday I've finished the N64 receiver. When everything's finished I will also release the schematics and hex files.

I will keep you posted if there's any progress. You can see right now I can use the SNES controller on the SNES and Saturn. So I have to wait until I got some more transceivers before I can make more controllers & receivers. Right now I've completed a SNES controller and receivers for SNES and Saturn. So once a controller is equipped with that transceiver you're able to use it on every console you got a receiver for. So what I'm planning to do with these transceivers is to build an universal wireless controller system. Now I've found a cheap 2.4GHz transceiver with some very neat features like adjustable data rate, 128 different channels, auto retransmit. You might remember the one wireless Saturn controller I made a year ago.
