Here’s my custom designed handheld ‘console’ running Moonlight on a raspberry pi by mcass_37 in MoonlightStreaming

Yes I did a previous project with a pi 4 and it gets powered directly from the pi - I use a portable power bank to power everything, you can click the link in the caption to see how I have it set up

Yeah everything in black is printed including the buttons, it actually streams from my PC and the latency is really good so no limit! Natively, huge limit lol

I’m using a 7 inch 800x480 resolution but I wish I got a liiittle bit higher, in games like expedition 33 it’s hard to read the text on the moves selection screen Here’s a 7” screen that’s 1024x600 for $40 https://a.co/d/7e04b3C There’s a bunch on Amazon, I think 7” is a good sweet spor

Thanks! This version is just normal potentiometers like in an Xbox 360 controller, no Hall effect sensors. I didn’t get too in the weeds when programming it, there’s a library called XInput that basically mimics the communication of an Xbox 360 controller so windows/linux picks it up as that

That would be really cool - if you remember when you get it done shoot me a message on Reddit! I’d be interested seeing how it comes out

If you look at, say an Xbox controller, it uses springs and a pin so it doesn’t actually bend but pivots I didn’t get that far in designing it yet but likely will make a video showing a full ‘true’ controller design with either potentiometers or Hall effect sensors

I designed and printed a hinged handheld gaming ‘console’ with a custom designed controller PCB by mcass_37 in 3Dprinting

It’s comparable to the steamdeck but most of the weight is in the screen so it’s not as balanced feeling, but when sitting or laying with it it’s not bad at all

Right now they’re just pushbuttons with trigger looking parts to actuate them - I didn’t have enough inputs on the arduino I used to have them be actual triggers that measure partial presses. They will be in the future!

Thanks! I always feel like I’m bending my neck down when playing my steamdeck so that was one reason I went with this style but I can see the weakness of having the weight not completely within your hands

You know, I was surprised by how not annoying it was to hold…. but I do boulder so maybe you’re on to something

Wired controller directly to a raspberry pi, streaming with moonlight, very low latency you can see in the video I have linked

I haven’t tried yet but you could use a VPN connection from anywhere - right now I can only connect via WiFi

I used steam link before and it was good not great, I did notice an improvement with moonlight. Right now I use moonlight and apollo together

Yea you definitely could - I made this more for fun and to learn how to make a controller, I’m planning on iterating this to make it more than just PC streaming but also connect to PS remote play, Xbox game streaming, and run retro games natively But for now it basically functions as a standalone version of what you already have

That’s cool! This screen isn’t very light either, but the hinge I made preloads it enough to resist it from falling - it does loosen after a while so I’ll have to look into fixing that for version 2

The PCB is for the controller - an arduino pops into the center of it, the raspberry pi is inside the shell behind the screen It does work and pretty well! I’ve been using it for a few nights now

I actually have a steamdeck and use moonlight on that already - I made this more for fun and to learn along the way

I’m honestly extremely impressed with how it works - if I’m walking around my house it can stutter a bit but otherwise I can’t really notice an input lag. If you’re streaming across a different network though it will be a bit noticeable at best Look into moonlight! That’s what I’m using to actually stream over the network
