This repo contains code, PCB files, and 3D design files for the custom RC prototype.

  • code/gamepad/gamepad.ino is the Arduino code for reading joystick/button inputs and sending them as USB HID device (e.g. gamepad, mouse) inputs to the main device.
  • pcbs/ contains Kicad design files for the left and right custom PCBs
    • pcbs/left/ is the left PCB
      • pcbs/left/outputs.zip contains Gerber and drill files for ordering the left PCB
    • pcbs/right/ is the right PCB
      • pcbs/right/outputs.zip contains Gerber and drill files for ordering the right PCB
    • Libraries are provided for the joystick and Arduino Pro Micro schematic/layout
  • 3d/RC.3mf is the 3D design file for the 3D printable housing

Instructions for Ordering Custom PCBs

  1. Go to https://cart.jlcpcb.com/quote
  2. CLick "Add gerber file" and upload one of pcbs/left/outputs.zip or pcbs/right/outputs.zip for the left and right PCBs respectively
  3. Select a quantity (minimum is 5)
  4. Change PCB thickness to 1.2mm
  5. Change surface finish to Lead Free HASL
  6. Everything else can be left as the default
  7. Save to cart and repeat the above steps to add the PCB for the other side to your order before you checkout

Questions

How big is the Right PCB?

It measures 43 × 103 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Right use?

14 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Right KiCad files?

From the godfreynolan/custom-rc repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is pcbs/right/right.kicad_pcb and its schematic pcbs/left/left.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Right design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask godfreynolan before reusing the design.
