This projects makes it possible to use Sega Saturn peripherals (controllers, mouse) on a PC through an USB port. Using the schematic and firmware available on this page, one can make an adapter (Using the connector from a Saturn extension) or convert a controller (if it has enough internal free space). Thanks to USB HID compliance, the adapter wor

ks immediately on most modern systems without installing special drivers. Tested under Linux, Windows 7 64-bit, MacOS X and Sony Playstation 3. William Schneider sent me the following picture of this project assembled in a breadboard. He also confirmed that everything works fine with the Sega HSS-0101 controller, and that firmware version 1. 1 works very well with the PS3: The following mappings are available. To enable specific mapping, press and hold the corresponding button, connect the adapter (or power-up the console/computer), and release the button. On the PS3, the SLS (default) and SLS Alt mappings are usually the most suitable. They have been reported to work well for Super Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Virtua Fighter 5, Arcana Heart 3, Hard Corps: Uprising, Soul Calibur, Disgaea 3 and Mortal Kombat 9. The signal labelled as "+5v (Inp)" in the above mentionned webpage is in fact a logic output used by the Analogic controller and mouse. This signal is part of an handshake mechanism used to transfer a sequence of values. In fact, these peripheral communicate exactly like the Genesis multitap do. For details: For the USB connection, just strip the USB cable and solder the wires directly to the board. USB uses standard wire colors, but beware of cheap cables built with non-standard color codes. A microcontroller is a component which must be programmed in order to do something useful. So here...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
