Finished Schematic and routing the PCB for the controller

As I said in my last Journal Entry I have changed the microcontroller to the ESP32-S2-DevKitC as it by default contains all the needed hardware including a usb port, I now have to write the firmware and design a cade for controller before I can ship this project!

Here is a image of the completed PCB:

Completely designed and routed the PCB and Schematics

I completely designed the PCB and Schematic, This is what will connect to my Raspbery Pi 5 using Bluetooth, The controller features, triggers, DPAD and ABXY buttons. I will most likely swap the microcontroller to a complete devkitc board later on as it will most likely be easier to work with!

For power I have decided to use 3x AAA batteries

Here are some pictures of my designs
