Complete DIY kits
To make more obvious which parts are required to build a complete DIY Alpakka controller, we introduced the concept of Complete kits into the shop.
These work as a guided configurator in which you select a few options, and the relevant parts are added to the shopping cart.
| DIY kit configurator | Input Labs shop |
Firmware
The open source firmware for the controller, for the Raspberry Pi Pico.
Compiled builds with the latest version are also available.
| Firmware source code | GitHub |
| Firmware latest releases | GitHub |
Printed Circuit Board
The main board where all the buttons, gyro, thumbstick, LEDs and most other electronics are mounted.
Read the documentation about making an order from PCB manufacturer companies, or get it directly from us.

| Marmota core module pre-built | Input Labs shop |
Electronics
Large components usually not soldered by the PCB manufacturer, so you may want to solder (or replace) them yourself. See solder manual page.
