ColecoVison and Intellivision Paddle Controls - Do it Yourself

[+evg2000]

Hey everyone,

 

So I have finally completed the instructions for building your own ColecoVision and/or Intellivision Paddle Controllers.  Please use this thread to submit any questions or thoughts.

 

I hope you find this useful, and I hope you have fun.

 

You can find the software and Instructions here:

https://github.com/evg2000/ATTiny84_Version3.1

The STLs for the paddle case are here:

That looks fantastic!  I don't have the technical or electronic background to be able to do any of it, so the first person who wants to put one together for me, I'll be more than happy to compensate you for your time and of course all the parts!

Thanks for sharing! 👍👍

I'd definitely like to give this a shot, but I'll have to find someone to do the 3D printing part for me since I don't own one.

The paddle has firmware?

yes. it’s reading a rotary control, translating the velocity to button presses. turn fast, hold the button down longer.

Great project. However, the electronics is a bit outside my scope. Could someone provide the programmed PCB? I can paypal for parts on your time.

Thanks everyone! Cheers
