Over this pandemic I've made several controllers for the Vectrex. This one is using a NES style wireless controller with all custom electronics. There is an Adafruit Feather micro, tilt sensor, nRF24L01 transmitter and lots of LEDs. I wanted an analog stick so I am using a Sony PS Vita thunbstick. A...

Very nice, reminds me of my first build. I used a cut down RP 3B+ and a waveshare 3.5in HDMI screen.
