VCC: 3.3V – 5V
Vibr: 7.6V – 9V

PS2X pinout

  • define PS2_DAT 19
  • define PS2_CMD 23
  • define PS2_SEL 5
  • define PS2_CLK 18

PS2 Controller <–> Adapter header <–> Black project box

Black project box –> ESP32
–> Battery (4 x 18650 @ 14.8)
–> 5V LDO 3.3V regulator LD1117V33
–> 1 x 0.1 uF ceramic cap
–> 9V regulator L7809A / L7809CV
–> 1 x 0.1 uF ceramic cap
–> Antenna?
–> Switch
–> LED (Green?)
–> LED (Red when V is less than 7.2V)

18650 & Lipo

3.7V * 1 = 3.7V
3.7V * 2 = 7.4V
3.7V * 3 = 11.1V
3.7V * 4 = 14.8V
