USB Wireless TX (Transmitter)

$17.00 USD

As an extension to the Wireless Gameboy/GBA Controller project, this PC USB transmitter allows you to control another device wirelessly which may be useful for scripting. You need to keep sending the key press data or otherwise the receivers time out after 2-3 seconds.

You connect to it using the serial port and send the key press data like below. Check out the Python A button example here.
packet.append(0x54) # Transmit
packet.append(0x00) # High byte
packet.append(0x00) # Low byte
ser.write(packet)

To change the channel:
packet.append(0x43) # Channel set
packet.append(0x06) # Channel number, default is 0x01
packet.append(0x00)
You should see it blinking quickly, power cycle your receivers and wait 5 seconds then power cycle the USB TX and use as normal.

Only works with our receivers.

Description

You will need a board and receiver as a minimum to get started.

You can have multiple receivers per transmitter and you can use the same receiver for different wireless controllers. Any receivers/transmitters you purchase will be paired together. If you are unsure about your use case, please send us a quick email to support@insidegadgets.com.

Data format

High byte: L trigger (0x01), R trigger (0x02), X (0x04), Y (0x08)
Low byte: A (0x01), B (0x02), Right (0x04), Left (0x08), Up (0x10), Down (0x20), Select (0x40), Start (0x80)

The key is set until you unset it or the receiver times out after 2-3 seconds due to no more key presses being received (you need to send the same one again and again if you want to hold it).

You should wait 20ms between each keypress that you send, that’s what the delay is for, otherwise it may get out of sync. Printing text to the Python window will slow down the transmit rate.
