ohh this will end up being the base to my kids new handheld .. wanna make this wider and put in a 7" panel .. kinda wanna make the triggers hot swappable keys .. wonder if I could add rumblers ??

[pratayabanerjee]

Very good....and awasom....keep going man....

[raphaelchevalier]

awesome project; did you try linking the ESP32 Gamepad to Oculus Quest 2 per chance?

[marymartin]

do you have a version that i can use a arduino and have right and left trigger thanks great video i hope you can make another one that you can put on old controller shell

[mesquitamk]

legal. one question will it work for arcade games?

Can u share the link to easy eda project page ?🙏

Great stuff. I'm interested in making my own Bluetooth controller for fighting games, with R1 and R2 being on the front of the controller next to ABXY. Such controllers exist, but most of them are wired, and the rare wireless option has relatively high latency (I think because they're quite old, so not using the latest Bluetooth protocol versions).

Could this be made to support two analog triggers as well?

[akunhujat]

If i want to add LCD oled, what voltage must i use? I saw your schematic and for the VCC is 3.3V. Maybe that's to low to turn on the LCD

can u make it work using wifi instead of bluetooth for playing games

[marwan.naasan]

Wow .. great job 👏 ... actually I'm wondering that why there are so many delays ?

[shaisarfaty]

is this an Xinput bluetooth controller? can it work without screen mapping on call of duty mobile ?

[eccmasterful]

Hi, Thank you for sharing this great project. My students are building this for a high school junior project. One problem, the esp32 board we are using does not have a pin IO16 available to breadboard. Is there a way to assign another pin. Thank you in advance

[samaptabiswas]

Does this include the LT and RT buttons??

[homehon]

what kind of wifi does the pc need to connect to the gamepad and not normal or 3.0 as well as the xbox one

[light......]

what is the total cost in making this?

[neoncraft_]

What's the name of the app you used to check the controller? Also nice project i made one too but without PCBs

[wrybread]

How is the game play with this controller? I made a MAME controller with some different code someone posted for ESP32 that was completely unplayable. Lots of latency and weird behavior with the joysticks. Is the game play good with this code?

Found out that your BatteryLevel Checker Code does interrupt the sending of inputs.

In Serial Monitor, battery levels are updated like every 3-5 seconds.
Inputs, analog or digital, only go to my PC when Batterylevel gets updated.
It says "0, 5 V - battery level low" when connected to USB. Which is wrong. With 0, 5 Volt the ESP32 wouldn't even boot up!
I disabled the whole Batterychecker Code in your sketch and NOW inputs are sent instantly to the PC. Inputs do work like they intended now :)
Perhaps it has to do with the FastLED stuff, cause i don't use LEDs and its waiting for response from the LED Strip?! I don't know for sure.

Another question: Where did you find all the commands needed for the code? I couldn't find any documentation :/
On the Git from Lemming it only shows this example code, thats it. Not much to work with :/

One thing I wanna know that there is various commands for eg: button 1-64
So, every command has an specific purpose or it totally depends on configuration ?
