From the project
ESP32 Wi-Fi bridge from PC controller input to an original PlayStation controller port
V2 replaces the PCB-mounted PlayStation pin array with a removable donor-plug harness.
The main PlayBridge board will expose removable multi-contact connectors. A console-specific adapter will use a genuine donor controller cable and molded PlayStation male plug soldered to a matching breakout board. Swapping the adapter cable will make it possible to support other console systems without manufacturing their proprietary plug contacts directly on the main PCB.
