Xinput controller: common questions

What microcontroller does the Xinput controller use?

The Xinput controller is built around the Teensy-LC, from the NXP family.

How big is the Xinput controller PCB?

The Xinput controller measures 37.5 × 42.6 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Xinput controller?

24 components, from 22 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Xinput controller design files?

From the jcorcoran/xinput_controller repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Xinput controller design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its GPL-3.0 license, which jcorcoran chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Xinput controller without the hardware?

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