Controller Interface: common questions

What microcontroller does the Controller Interface use?

The Controller Interface is built around the RP2040, from the RP2040/RP2350 family.

How big is the Controller Interface PCB?

The Controller Interface measures 50 × 50 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Controller Interface?

56 components, from 32 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Controller Interface design files?

From the humanHardDrive/Gamecube-Controller-Wireless-Adapter repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout and the schematic; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Controller Interface design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its MIT license, which humanHardDrive chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Controller Interface without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug RP2040/RP2350 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
