UPDATES:
(3/8/15) PDF drawings detailing how to construct the USB controller for this project have been added under the source files. To create the PCB follow the 'Controller Perf Board' drawing. To assemble the controller follow the 'Controller Assembly' drawing as well as the pictures in the build album. For wiring the controller a schematic has been added under 'Controller Schematic'.
(3/14/15) Added zip files containing all parts as both Solidoworks and STEP part files in case anyone would like to modify some parts. Also added the Arduino code for the Teensy in the controller.
(3/29/15) Added PDFs of schematic for routing board as well as wiring guide for Raspberry Pi A+ to Thing Files. Also added link below to Youtube video (Credit to Floob) to help set controller in Retropie.
(4/27/15) Added link below to Youtube video (Credit again to Floob) to help set up controller for MAME.
