Turn the Wii Classic Controller into a gaming gear

A bit of clever pattern lets you mount a surface and gaming hardware right this controller. [Valentin Ivanov] had already been using the Wii Classical Controller Pro element an input all for his Gadgeteer-based projects. He wanted a way to marry the project sheet, display, and controller into one single unit.We're very big fans the design because it doesn't require any alteration of the controller. Instead, five carefully designed pieces were cut from some thin plywood. They lock together into an assembly that embraces the top of the controller while providing plenty of mounting options for the prototyping hardware thanks to a large grid of holes. A couple of pieces of bronze pole lock the mounting set in place by keying into the screw holes in the backside of the controller.In the image above you can see Mini Pacman running next to the gear. It's now nearly portable, only relying on a barrel jack for power but we're sure a battery pack could stand in if necessary.Filed under: peripherals hacks
