Custom Bluetooth Atari Joystick #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
This very cute Pi powered Atari with Bluetooth Joystick was shared on Reddit:
My dad was jealous of retro gaming systems I built for my brothers last year and commented that all he wanted to play were Atari games. I decided to build him a tiny Atari with a Pi Zero W. The hardest part was that I wanted to convert an original Atari 2600 joystick into a bluetooth controller. I did a lot of searching for how to build a custom bluetooth controller, but nothing worked. I ended up using the guts of an 8bitdo Zero to accomplish the task.
