Stadia controller Bluetooth Mode Firmware #ReverseEngineerinng #Gaming #Hacking @kiscyne
The Google Stadia controller is a favorite, even with Stadia being shut down days ago. There are instructions from Google on switching the controller from WiFi to Bluetooth mode to game on other devices. Google lists two caveats:
Switching is permanent
Once you switch your controller to Bluetooth mode, you can’t change it back to use Wi-Fi on Stadia. You can still play wired with USB in Bluetooth mode.
Available until December 31, 2023
You can switch to Bluetooth mode, check the controller mode, and check for Bluetooth updates until Dec 31, 2023.
The process uploads certain firmware files. A GitHub user has uploaded these files in hopes the community can use them in creative ways. See the GitHub repository here.
Per this post and here, the Stadia controller runs on a NXP i.MX RT1061 MCU, and a Broadcom BCM43458 wireless chip.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
