DFRobot - Wireless Gamepad w/ Arduino Controller

The Wireless Gamepad v1.1 for Arduino is the first gamepad based on Arduino from DFRobot. It supports Xbee, Bluetooth, RF and Wifi via the Xbee socket. Makes it possible to customize your own wireless communication for controlling your robots, mobile platforms, UAVs or anything else you want to control.

This gamepad features an onboard ATMEGA328 with Arduino bootloader letting you define the buttons and protocols by writing a simple Arduino Sketch. This offers endless possibilities in terms of integration in your projects. 

The controller has an Xbox 360 style button layout with two analog sticks, two analog buttons and 14 programmable buttons.
It is powered by three "AAA" Batteries or a DC power supply. You can program it via the FTDI interface directly. (you will need an FTDI Basic Breakout 3.3V for programming)
