A live input-viewer for GameCube/N64 controllers over wifi or usb serial. Used for showing/recording inputs during livestreams/gameplay recording sessions.

Documentation

Features

• Runs on Windows/Linux/Mac
• Supports OG NintendoSpy Hardware
• Supports ESP8266 Hardware Over Wifi - Serial support to come with later hardware rev
• Custom Themes in a JSON format

Requirements

• Python2.7
• PySerial
• python-websocket-server

Python Interface

Currently the python2.7 interface is built on top of TKinter. It is a means of starting a web server to host, the input viewer software (javascript + websockets), A Serial -> websocket bridge for older NintendoSpy hardware, and wifi credential management for the ESP2866 hardware.

Serial Baudrate:

• Baud Rate for connected serial device.

HTTPSERVER port:

• Port to host the http server on.

WebSocket Host:

• Host of the websocket server.

Display Socket Port:

• Port that the display applet listens on for controller information.

Serial Port:

• Available Serial Devices

Theme

• Available Themes.

httpserver button:

• Starts a http server to serve the display applet.

Serial Forwarder:

• Starts a serial forwarder based off selected comport, Forwards serial packets to display applet.

Generate Url:

• Copies Display applet url to your clip board

Hardware

• NODEMCU v3
• GCN controller extender
• N64 Controllers extender
• 1 100Kohm resistor
• 1 10K Ohm resistor
• 1 10uf Capacitor

Tie matching lines together for GCN/N64 controllers. Take the data line and tie it to Pin D1(GPIO5). The 100k and 10uf capacitor pull down pin D7(GPIO13). The 10k resistor is in series with +5 from the GCN connector.

If you are making a single controller variant,

• GCN: Pull up pin D7(GPIO13)
• N64: Pill down pin D7(GPIO13)
