Proof of Principle

Marcel has modded and tricked-out a PS3 dualshock controller using an ATmega328P microcontroller (MCU). The modded device – which recently surfaced on Indiegogo – is aimed at DIY Makers and hobbyists interested in a versatile remote control platform

Marcel created a replacement electronics board for the Sony DualShock 3 controller. With this board, an XBee, and an old controller, it’s easy to add dual analog control and a whole lot of buttons to any project using an XBee receiver. Yes, we have seen an earlier version of Marcel’s project before, but this time he’s added a few new features – the rumble now works and thanks to multiple people unable or unwilling to spin a few boards, [Marcel] has put up an Indiegogo campaign.

Hack a Day

Fun to see what you did with our old RN171 before we sold Roving to Microchip.Now, as ACKme, we offer much more powerful wifi modules that will allow you to run custom web server, mDNS, and up to 8 concurrent connections to the modules at once. Take a look at the AMW006 Numbat module for example. Www.ack.me

What happens if you’d like to use this very comfortable and very functional controller over a mile or so? Just replace the mainboard of the controller with a new design using an Xbee radio. It’s a great project from the workbench of Marcel and looks to be just the solution for an awesome Xbee remote control.

Die Roomba-robotstofzuigers zijn handig, maar jammer is dat ze nog altijd niet standaard via mobiele apps zijn te bedienen. Nederlander Marcel is een crowdfundingactie gestart voor een wifi-module voor de Roomba-robotstofzuiger. Daarmee kan je via smartphones, tablets of computers je Roomba besturen, zelfs overal ter wereld. En je kan data van de sensoren van de stofzuiger ontvangen.... lees meer
