Playing emulated games on an iPad or iPhone is a lot of fun, but one thing missing from the equation is a proper joystick. To fix this dire situation, you can take an original Atari 2600 joystick and turn it into a wireless controller capable of working with any iCade standard game!&nbsp;

The Feather nRF52 Bluefruit Bluetooth LE microcontroller is perfect for the task. It's fast, has robust Bluetooth, and is tiny enough to fit inside the joystick's case, along with a LiPo battery for power.&nbsp;

You won't even need to modify the case, just remove the original cable and you're ready to create a whole new, modern controller inside of the body of a classic!

## Parts & Matrials
The star of the show is an Atari CX-40 joystick from the venerable Atari 2600 Video Computer System. Check your basement or attic for one, but if you don't luck out, these are available inexpensively -- usually $10 to $15 -- on eBay or at your local thrift shop.

Be sure to get an authentic, vintage, OEM (original equipment manufacturer) Atari joystick made between 1978 to 1986. There are modern joysticks and all-in-one game systems built to look like a CX40, but their internals will vary greatly from the original.

## Programming the Feather nRF52

## iCade Standard

Since the iPad doesn't have a game controller port on it like a video game console, game developers have come up with a few clever ways to interface physical controls with the device. One such standard is the&nbsp;[iCade](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICade)&nbsp;protocol, made by ION Audio for their line of iPad desktop arcade cabinets and controllers.&nbsp;

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/834/medium800/gaming_ION_iCade.jpg?1512404972)

The iCade standard interfaces with iOS&nbsp;as an HID keyboard, paired over Bluetooth Low Energy.

The nRF52 Feather is going to act as a BLE keyboard so that it can "type" the keystrokes that the iCade standard uses.

Here's what the button mapping looks like for the standard iCade:

## Feather nRF52 Preparation

If you're new to the Feather nRF52 Bluefruit board, check out [this Learning Guide to get started](../../../../bluefruit-nrf52-feather-learning-guide) with it.

We'll be programming it as an Arduino board, so make sure you have [gone through this setup process](../../../../bluefruit-nrf52-feather-learning-guide/arduino-board-setup) and can successfully upload code to it before proceeding.

For extra credit, you may want to also [run some of the example sketches](../../../../bluefruit-nrf52-feather-learning-guide/examples) to make sure you can pair it with your iOS device.

## AtariFruit Code

In researching the iCade standard for my [iPad Pinball Controller project](../../../../pinball-controll-ipad/overview), I came across an [excellent project by Allen C. Huffman](http://subethasoftware.com/2013/01/04/teensy-2-0-icade-source-code/) that uses a Teensy as an iCade gamepad controller. We can use a modified version of that code for this project, too!

I made some small adjustments to the code, and included keyboard mapping comments in line, as well as all of the code necessary to convert this to Bluetooth on the nRF52 Feather instead of a hard-wired Teensy.

Copy the code shown below, make a new sketch in Arduino, paste the code into that sketch, save it as AtariFruit\_Joystick.ino, and then upload it to your Feather.

Here are the mappings:

- UP on pin 15
- DOWN on pin 7
- LEFT&nbsp; on pin 11
- RIGHT on pin 16
- FIRE on pin 30

https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/blob/main/AtariFruit_Joystick/AtariFruit_Joystick.ino

If you're dying to jump ahead and test out the code before we wire up the joystick, I get it! -- you can try pairing the Feather with your iOS device and grounding each of the assigned pins with a jumper wire. But, don't worry, we'll do more thorough pairing and testing on later in the guide if you're not sure how to go about that.

Once you've uploaded the code, it's time to get inside the joystick and build the AtariFruit circuit!

# AtariFruit 2600 Joystick

## Joystick Internals

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/847/medium800/gaming_patentjoystick.jpg?1512409358)

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/772/medium800/gaming_PC030005_2k.jpg?1512358341)

The CX-40 is very simple inside, to be sure, and incredibly robust. It consists of a single printed circuit board (PCB) with five contact switches/traces and a ground plane. These are for up, down, left, and right joystick directions, and the fire button.

Normally, these switches are connected directly to the 2600 console by plugging in the cable which is wired to the PCB. Each switch, when pressed, closes a circuit from it's pin to ground.

Let's open it up and take a look inside.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/771/medium800/gaming_PC030009_2k.jpg?1512358329)

Use a Philips screwdriver to unscrew the four screws from the bottom of the joystick.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/769/medium800/gaming_PC030014_2k.jpg?1512358292)

Then you can pull&nbsp;open the joystick by carefully prying up the top.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/770/medium800/gaming_PC030015_2k.jpg?1512358307)

There's a really good chance that 30 years worth of dust and grime has accumulated inside of the joystick. You may want to take this opportunity to wipe that off.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/764/medium800/gaming_PC030018_2k.jpg?1512358259)

This is the PCB. Each one of those little metal domes is a button, which&nbsp;closes a contact to ground for when pressed.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/773/medium800/gaming_PC030021_2k.jpg?1512358910)

We won't be using these wires so you can go ahead and take some pliers to pull the crimp connectors off of the board.

![gaming_PC030022_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/886/medium640/gaming_PC030022_2k.jpg?1512413585)

![gaming_PC030024_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/887/medium640/gaming_PC030024_2k.jpg?1512413601)

Then you can remove the whole cable assembly entirely.

# AtariFruit 2600 Joystick

## Building the Circuit

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/824/medium800/gaming_atariFruit2600_fritzing.png?1512368897)

## Prep the PCB

Instead of crimp terminal connectors, we will solder wired directly to the board. Prepare the board by&nbsp;tinning each pad with&nbsp;a bit of solder.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/778/medium800/gaming_PC030030_2k.jpg?1512359025)

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/780/medium800/gaming_PC030032_2k.jpg?1512359056)

## Wire Prep

Now will prepare to solder connections from the&nbsp;PCB to the Feather microcontroller.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/782/medium800/gaming_PC030044_2k.jpg?1512359138)

- Cut a short length of wire for each contact on the Atari PCB, and one for ground. I've color-coded them similarly to the original wiring. Since I didn't have brown wire I substituted it for yellow
- Strip a bit of insulation off of the ends of each wire

![gaming_PC030045_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/848/medium640/gaming_PC030045_2k.jpg?1512409499)

![gaming_PC030046_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/849/medium640/gaming_PC030046_2k.jpg?1512409517)

![gaming_PC030047_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/850/medium640/gaming_PC030047_2k.jpg?1512409526)

## Solder the Feather Wires

Following this guide, solder each of the direction wires and the fire button wire to the pins of the Feather microcontroller:

- **YELLOW:&nbsp;RIGHT&nbsp;** to **16**
- **WHITE:&nbsp;UP** &nbsp;to **15**
- **BLUE** :&nbsp; **DOWN** &nbsp;to&nbsp; **7**
- **GREEN:&nbsp;LEFT&nbsp;to&nbsp;11**
- **ORANGE:&nbsp;FIRE&nbsp;** to **&nbsp;30**

Since we'll be sharing ground among a few components, wait to solder in the black wire in for now.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/786/medium800/gaming_PC030050_2k.jpg?1512359203)

## USB Breakout

In order to charge the battery we will need to extend the USB port to the outside of the joystick. Prepare the USB breakout board by soldering a red wire to it's +5V and a black wire to its ground

![gaming_PC030039_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/851/medium640/gaming_PC030039_2k.jpg?1512409624)

![gaming_PC030042_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/853/medium640/gaming_PC030042_2k.jpg?1512409659)

## Switch Prep

This slide switch will be used to turn the microcontroller on and off. We can do this by grounding the enable (En) pin on the Feather.

- Remove one outside leg from the switch with diagonal cutters, then tin the two remaining leads
- Solder a black wire to each of the switch's leads
- Cover them with heat shrink tubing for insulation
- Use a larger diameter piece of heat shrink to cover both legs

![gaming_PC030052_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/854/medium640/gaming_PC030052_2k.jpg?1512409782)

![gaming_PC030053_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/855/medium640/gaming_PC030053_2k.jpg?1512409793)

## Switch to Enable Pin

Solder one of the wires from the switch to the enable pin. (It doesn't matter which one.)

![gaming_PC030062_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/859/medium640/gaming_PC030062_2k.jpg?1512410061)

![gaming_PC030063_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/860/medium640/gaming_PC030063_2k.jpg?1512410104)

## 5V to USB

Solder the red&nbsp;wire from the USB breakout board to the USB pin on the microcontroller.

This will be used to charge the battery.

![gaming_PC030064_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/861/medium640/gaming_PC030064_2k.jpg?1512410155)

![gaming_PC030065_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/862/medium640/gaming_PC030065_2k.jpg?1512410183)

![gaming_PC030066_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/863/medium640/gaming_PC030066_2k.jpg?1512410199)

## Shared Grounds

&nbsp;

- We will twist together and solder the three ground wires before&nbsp;connecting them to the single ground pin on the Feather. One is from the switch, the second is from the USB breakout, and the third is the wire we'll be connecting to the joystick PCB

This wire can get too thick to fit in the Feather's pin through hole, so be sure to use a light hand with the solder when initially joining the wire ends.

- Insert the&nbsp;combined ground wires&nbsp;into the microcontroller's ground pin, then solder the connection

![gaming_PC030067_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/864/medium640/gaming_PC030067_2k.jpg?1512410278)

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/805/medium800/gaming_PC030078_2k.jpg?1512359734)

Feed&nbsp;the slide switch and USB breakout board from the inside of the joystick through the hole and then to the outside.

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/806/medium800/gaming_PC030081_2k.jpg?1512359751)

## Feather to PCB Traces

- Now place the microcontroller inside of the joystick body as shown and placed the original PCB onto its mounting holes
- Trim the pin connection wires to a proper length to fit, with just a bit of extra wiggle room. If the wires are too long they may make it difficult to fit everything inside
- Next, solder the connecting wires to the original Atari PCB as shown

![gaming_PC030082_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/870/medium640/gaming_PC030082_2k.jpg?1512412022)

## Battery Power

- Use a little bit of double stick foam tape to secure the battery inside of the joystick body as shown
- Plug&nbsp;the battery's JST connector into the Feather microcontroller.&nbsp; If the controller turns on, go ahead and flip the switch to turn it off

![gaming_PC030105_2k.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/874/medium640/gaming_PC030105_2k.jpg?1512412127)

# AtariFruit 2600 Joystick

## Playing Games

## Bluetooth Pairing

Before you can play, you'll need to&nbsp;pair the controller with your iPad or iPhone. This is a simple as turning on the joystick and then heading to the Bluetooth settings on your device and choosing the&nbsp;new item listed at the bottom called "AtariFruit Joystick."

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/826/medium800/gaming_IMG_0927.png?1512401099)

You'll be prompted to accept the pairing request. Go ahead and tap "pair".

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/827/medium800/gaming_IMG_0932b.png?1512401238)

Now, you'll see the AtariFruitJoystick" has been added to the Bluetooth devices list, with the "Connected" status. It's ready to go!

![](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/048/828/medium800/gaming_IMG_0933b.png?1512401356)

Once paired, you can test&nbsp;it out by heading to a note-taking app and moving the joystick in all four directions as well as pressing the fire button. You'll see a letter "typed" each time you press or release the joystick from a particular direction, or shoot with the button. That's great, it means everything is working!
