Adafruit 3015 PiGRRL 2.0 Custom Gamepad PCB Only

The Adafruit PiGRRL 2.0 Custom Gamepad PCB powers up your PiGRRL build by removing the need for point to point wiring for the buttons and switches. The board needs a 40-pin header cable to connect all the GPIO signals, 2 x wires for the power and 4 x wires for the left and right shoulder buttons. That's all the wiring you need to connect 12 x switches! As you'll see from the tutorial there's still quite a bit to do, but the Gamepad PCB takes away a lot of tedious soldering.

New to the PiGRRL? The Raspberry Pi is a tiny Linux computer which can run a number of emulators of classic game systems such as the 8-bit NES and MAME. These have proved so popular that there's a complete distribution aimed at retro gaming, and that's the RetroPie project. If you can think of an 8-bit game, the chances are that it will run on the Raspberry Pi. The PiGRRL project brings these great old games, with their blocky graphics and plinky 8-bit 'music' into a small, hand-held, battery powered, full colour console. Retro games are always a big hit with kids and adults so bring some more retro into your life and build a PiGRRL.

Supplied as a bare PCB, you will need to source the rest of the components required to build a working PiGRRL. Adafruit supply a free and very detailed tutorial to guide you through the whole process of building your very own hand-held retro gaming console.
