Very cool. I have a similar project I’ve been meaning to build to use a Playstation controller as a wireless analog joystick for an Apple ][, also using digipots like this project did. I have the components but am procrastinating soldering the tiny SMD digipot to the breakout board just like shown in this article.

- sokoloff 4y agoIf the board has soldermask (was made at a board house and has green [or other color] coating), soldering SMD components is a lot easier than most people would first assume. The surface tension of the solder and rejection of it by the mask makes it go much better than you'd think.
