I see,
I'll look into the IOVDD pins some more. To clarify writing a 1 to the VOLTAGE_SELECT register would make it use1.8v signal levels, which would fix the issue of sending 3.3v to the DS5 and frying it. The OLED screen (SSD1306) using says that Vdd for IC logic can be from 1.65V to 3.3V, and the Vcc for panel driving should be from 7V to 15V, but I believe that is regulated on the OLED screen module itself, so I think the OLED screen could still work?
Another thing is that, when I just put a voltage divider down to 1.8v to the buttons, they seem to work fine on the OLED? Although this requires a divider for every button lol. I'm not sure if it's because I'm not checking for a "high" input for the logic on my screen, I'm rlly just drawing a bunch of circles as it's default state and then filling them in if the button is set to LOW.

Looking online, it seems there could be some trouble trying to supply with 1.8v due to how the board is*, and that it would also mess up USB functionality according to the DS so I'd still need to give that a 3.3v supply, and I'm not too sure how to supply it to just that one pin. One suggestion that forum post recommends is to use level shifters, could that work? It'd keep the inputs to the DS5 at a 1.8v when not pressed but still 3.3v when going to the board.

*From raspberry pi forums
"Looking at the Raspberry Pi Pico schematics I see that it is possible to tie down 3V3_EN and drive an external, lower voltage on 3V3. unfortunately, according to the schematics, 3V3 is shorted to USB_VDD, that must be driven with 3.3v nominal.
Another option would be to disconnect IOVDD from the 3V3 signal, however, the RP2040 datasheet indicates that all the IOVDD pins must share the same voltage."

The 4 Inputs that make the D-pad/Stick, the ones that will only go to the MC board, do need the PU enabled so they don't 'float' and do any weirdo stuff. Then the 4 that will be going to the DS5 D-pad spots need to be made Inputs when not used, and changed to Outputs and driven Lo when used.

That RP4020 chip needs to be looked into more, as it seems to have IOVDD pins. Unless they tied those to 3.3v on the board, you could run 1.8v to them and not really worry about shooting 3.3v into the 1.8v logic of the controller. That might wreck the OLED, depending on it's IO voltage requirements. Just a quick look at the DS, it looks like having the IO running at 3.3v means it takes 2v to be considered a logic Hi, so connected up to the DS5 that way, the thing will never be able to tell the buttons are not pressed and either 'think' they are pressed all the time or just act all goofy since that 1.8v is close to the 2v requirement.

I have changed that component from a donor board and now it works correctly

Same issue with my controller, it does not work when antenna cable is connected
tried to remove all components connected to ground  (close to antenna and usb connector) on bottom board but still it does not work

what did you replaced at the end to make it work again?

CM1 is a Common Mode choke, it's just 2 Inductors in the same package on the USB data lines.

Hello Great Job Thanks for that I want to ask u what meaning for CM1 mentioned in PDF because I have same board and have short in board

Thank you!

Is the purpose of having it be Input only so it doesn't pull it up to the 3.3V from the MC (RP2040) and fry the DS5 board?

Another thing I thought of doing since I'm writing my own firmware, is having the controller work for PC on its own thru the MC, but also send inputs to the DS5*, as it is already doing. Currently, I have the SOCD cleaning with the 8 pins for Directionals, and 8 buttons for now in Input mode. However since it is Input instead of Input w/ pullup, the signals going to the MC on my breadboard are not working properly, although they are not also connected to the DS5 board currently. I'm assuming having them go to the DS5 board would fix this issue.

However, since I'd like it to work on it's own w/o relying on the DS5 board as well, if I PU those inputs to 1.8V using a voltage divider from 3.3v or something, would that fix it? If not, what options do I have to accomplish this.


*Ik the DS5 board can work on PC as is, but I'm more so doing this just for cheaper options as I will probably make some for my friends like I did for the last few I made.

Something in the RF circuit has probably gone bad, one of the RF Transformers, or it could be in the MCU. You'll have to replace them with parts from another controller.

You can make just about anything else work in there, but nothing will be a direct wire up and work perfect deal.

Ah thanks.

Another question, I'd like to keep some kind of analog stick functionality on my controller, but for what I'm trying to do the DS5 joysticks are kinda clunky and I'd like something tinier. Would it be possible to use like a PSP 3000 or Joycon joystick or something and connect the corresponding pins (Y Ax to Y ax, Gnd to Gnd, etc)? If not, what options do I have for connecting some kind of smaller L and R joystick.
