wonko Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Please let me know if I need to post this in another area. A long time ago, I built a large wooden box to house a standard setup of 2 joysticks and a bunch of buttons. It connects to my PC via a USB cable. I want to know if anybody has any advice about converting this to wireless (maybe via Raspberry PI or some other Bluetooth device) In addition to converting to wireless, I am also thinking about adding a spinner and a trackball (like I said, the box is LARGE) Any thoughts/suggestions?

stigzler Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Depends on loads. Brief google search: https://www.pcreview.co.uk/threads/wireless-usb-extenders-why-do-they-not-seem-to-exist.4054522/ wireless usb extension might not be possible? Also - what is the usb device?

wonko Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 The USB device is a zero delay encoder similar to this one I see on EBAY; http://www.ebay.com/itm/Zero-Delay-USB-Encoder-to-PC-Joystick-For-Arcade-DIY-KIT-Sanwa-Parts-MAME-/191558265304 I see projects where somebody stuffs a PI Zero into a console controller but I don't know enough about it. I was thinking maybe somebody here might have made their own Mame wireless device. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
