Hello,

Due to my BT dongle not being compatible, i ordered one from the recommend list and it works ok but unfortunatly it lags like crazy when I use my BT headset (known issue)...
I think the best is to make my own adapter instead of buying a new headset...

Since my knowledge with electronic parts is almost none, i hope someone can advise with this parts because it seems hard to find them in my country.

Converter (It seems USB type B connector, is it ok?)

Board

With the BT dongle I always have to connect the gamepad to the computer in order to work, with the adapter will be the same?


Thanks in advance for the advices...

Regards,
Acik

This will work but they are very expensive. Have you looked here? A lot of cheaper options on ebay.

You don't need to connect the gamepad.

Thank you for your replies.

Ok, so for the price I guess it's better to get this ones, right?

The at90usb162 is not a good choice. You should get an atmega32u4 board instead.

The Teensy is easier to use, because the Teensy loader is easy to understand for beginners.
