Virtual Boy Wireless Controller Receiver
This is a new wireless receiver to pair with my Virtual Boy wireless controller PCB. It will connect to the controller port of a Virtual Boy and provide power via a pigtail and AC/DC adapter. Non-pigtailed option is also available for custom VB consoles. This receiver provides a wireless ESP-Now low latency wireless link to mate to a paired wireless VB controller.
Note: A wireless controller PCB, receiver, and battery pack are needed to create a complete VB wireless controller solution. These receivers are hard paired to a matching wireless controller PCB.
Features overview:
- ESP-Now based wireless design
- High quality 3D printed housing
- Laser etched graphics
- <2ms latency for ESP-Now link
- Connects to VB console controller port
- Power provided to VB console through adapter (pigtailed option only)
LED and Button Behavior
There's a red LED above the power cable that glows RED when power is applied and the switch is ON. There's a blue LED below the power cable that will slowly pulse BLUE when looking for its paired VB wireless controller. When connected, the blue LED will turn off and pulse briefly only when keys are pressed on the associated VB wireless controller. To restart the receiver search for its wireless controller, power cycle, or press the RESET button on the receiver. You may also need to power cycle your controller. On the receiver, the BOOT button is not currently used.
