Project to convert Symbian Series60 mobile into a Bluetooth Gamepad specifically the Nokia N-Gage and N-Gage QD.
It should work with all Symbian Series 60 1st and 2nd Edition devices.
Tested on Nokia N-gage QD with v4.60 firmware.
- Requires "Python for S60" (PyS60) installed to work, download the appropriate version from here:
- For Series 60 1st Edition (N-Gage and N-Gage QD), download from this link: Download
- For Series 60 2nd Edition (6600, 3230, 7610 etc.), download from this link: Download
- Download the SIS file and Arduino Code from the Releases
- You'll need to make a USB Bluetooth Receiver (no soldering required) for the client side (for PC, Android, or any other device supporting a USB Gamepad)
Required components:
- HC-05/HC-06 or any other Serial Bluetooth Module
- ATtiny85 USB development board (aka DigiSpark)
- Upload the Arduino Code to the Digispark using Arduino IDE.
- Requires Arduino DigisparkJoystick Library from: https://github.com/digistump/DigisparkArduinoIntegration/tree/master/libraries/DigisparkJoystick
- Plug the receiver you made into any USB Gamepad supporting device (PC, Android, Game console,etc.) and it will show up as a USB Gamepad.
- Install GamepadBT app on N-Gage and search for your HC06 Bluetooth module and enter the passcode for pairing (default is 0000 or 1234)
- Now the N-Gage should work seamlessly as a wireless gamepad.
