01 / Project overview

OGX-Mini is a published controller-adapter firmware project that supports multiple RP2040 and RP2350 hardware arrangements. The supported-board list includes Waveshare RP2040-Zero. Its documentation describes controller compatibility, output modes and a configuration interface for mappings and deadzones.

02 / Materials & software

  • Waveshare RP2040-Zero or another explicitly supported board
  • USB host wiring or supported adapter PCB
  • compatible controller

03 / Compatibility & setup notes

Compatibility depends on both the input controller and the target platform. Some targets have additional requirements; this overview does not claim that every controller works with every console.

04 / Build the project

  1. Select the hardware arrangement and firmware flavor that match the board.
  2. Follow the upstream USB-host wiring or adapter-board guide and inspect the connections before power-up.
  3. Connect a supported controller and test a basic supported output mode before changing mappings.

05 / Check the result

Test buttons, axes and neutral positions on a simple gamepad tester. Confirm that a saved mapping survives a restart before assembling the adapter case.

PineMux build note: Keep a record of the board revision, firmware version and first successful test. Follow the upstream guide for exact pins and commands.
