BitPlayer - Micro:bit Game Controller

BitPlayer plus micro:bit, you just made a cool wireless remote controller and a game console for yourself. For an authentic gaming experience, the product uses a 2-axis joystick that just feel like any joystick on a popular Gameboy or PSP. There are 6 programmable push-buttons, the top left, top right, and button A,B,C,D. With the built-in vibration motor and buzzer, you can create an immersive and interactive gaming experience. Some people may feel that the 5x5 led matrix does not satisfy their gaming needs, so we have the I2C Grove port on board for Grove peripherals like an OLED Display.

BitPlayer provides you inspiration and excitement to make creations such as a portable piano or a smart calculator.

BitPlayer is easy to hold and use, with a 2-axis joystick like Gameboy or PSP controllers, it also includes another 6 programmable buttons labeled as L, R, A, B, C and D. For an immserive and interactive experience, the BitPlayer itself features a buzzer, a vibration motor and a Grove I2 C port to connect additional peripherals like an OLED display. If you haven't heard of Grove before, Grove is a Seeed Studio series which you can read more about here.

You can easily create your own games anywhere with the Bitplayer, simply power it with 2 AAA batteries or have a powerbank handy to power it through a micro:usb cable. Through the micro:bit radio, BitPlayer can interact with another micro:bit device within 10 metres.

If you want to implement a remote control car, we recommend that you also buy a BitCar.
