HTangl-Controller

The HTangl controller is an all digital game controller mainly made for Super Smash Brothers Melee
but it can be used for many different games including traditional fighting games and platformers.

It runs on a modified version of the HayB0XX firmware.

The design of the controller is based on The B0XX, Frame 1 and GCCMX

This controller is not especially easy to DIY, Version 2 requiers a large 3D printed case which I print all in one piece on a large format FDM printer. The top panel and switch plate are also laser cut and the PCB requires some custom parts like the 2 USB ports. If you are not already somewhat familier with 3D printing, soldering, CAD and PCB manufacturing then I do not recommend trying to make one of these controllers.

I created a simplified version of this controller specifically meant for DIY called the BudgeTangl, please check out that repository if you're just looking to make a simple controller.

This controller is licensed under the CERN Open Hardware Licence Version 2 - Strongly Reciprocal. Please read the license in this repository and visit https://ohwr.org/cernohl for more information. This license allows you to make a modified or unmodified version of the controller for yourself or to sell provided you follow the guidelines of the license. The strongly reciprocal version of the license I have chosen requires that you use this same license if you decide to make modifications to any of the files in this repository.

Questions

How big is the HTangl V1.1 PCB?

It measures 344 × 116 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the HTangl V1.1 use?

38 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 HTangl V1.1 KiCad files?

From the HTangl/HTangl-Controller repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Version 1/Kicad/HTangl V1.1.kicad_pcb and its schematic Version 2/Kicad/HTangl V2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the HTangl V1.1 design in my own project?

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