The first 4021’s output is fed onto the second 4021 via a serial input which has been colored green on the schematic below. We have two 4021s due to the number of buttons, and both are connected to form a longer conveyor belt. Every time the clock pulses the “conveyor belt” moves one bit along the line. The NES is constantly outputting a clock signal and every time it wants to know what buttons are being pressed, it briefly activates the Parallel-Serial line (think of it as a 'load' line) causing the 4021 to “load” each button as one bit. The best way to think about the operation is to liken it to a conveyor belt. The 4021 is parallel to serial shift register, and it’s main responsibility is to take the parallel input and convert it to a serial pulse of data from whichever button is being pushed. The two shift registers are used to connect the 12 buttons and the 16 resistors. We also need 12 buttons because that is the amount of contact points there are for the controller. For this step, a breadboard will be your best friend. In this case, you will need the following components:īefore soldering anything, it is always best to begin with a prototype and make sure everything is in order. As with every other project, draw your schematic diagram and make sure you have every component. Fast forward to present day and you can relive your younger glory days with the use of a few spare parts and a little imagination.įor this project we will attempt to replicate a Super Nintendo controller.
