Open-Source WaveBird Protocol Implementation: Reviving a Classic Controller

The Nintendo WaveBird wireless controller is renowned for its comfortable grip and exceptional battery life, but its receiver has been discontinued for years. A developer has created an open-source implementation of the WaveBird protocol using Silicon Labs Wireless Gecko SoCs, designing a low-cost, easy-to-build receiver. The project includes firmware, hardware design files, and 3D-printable case files, solving the WaveBird receiver shortage and reviving this classic controller.
