The antenna is from a walkie talkie I gutted for another project. I'll get some new creations up detailing the charger, and circuit board I made. I'll try to get them up by this weekend, but I'm really busy with my current class schedule.

The custom circuit board that would allow the battery to fit in any Genesis controller sounds like a great option. I'm also curious to see where you got the spring-like antenna, as well as what you do to charge the Li-ION battery.

Unfortunately no, I already owned three controllers, and each one had the same model number but a different circuit board on the inside. It should also be noted that the pins might be (I'm pretty sure they are) in a different order on the pass through circuit board. I think you might be able to squeeze everything but the battery in there if you don't mind having a battery on the outside. I can figure out the correct pin out for the pass through controller if you are interested in this option. I also made a custom circuit board to fit in the controller, though I never published it, that can be used in any genesis controller. If you are interested in this option let me know, and I'll post a brief tutorial.

Do you know if there's a way to spot the surface mount versions of the Genesis controller? The ones I ended up with from eBay were pass through, their only identifying mark on the outside was Model No. 1650 printed on the back of the controller. Any chance yours has a different model number?

R1 is a current limiting resistor for the LED, but the LED I used had a built in resistor. If you want to use a regular LED, I recommend using the resistor calculator at http://alan-parekh.com/led_resistor_calculator.html to figure the value of R1 based on your LED choice.

Maybe I missed something, but what's the value of R1 in the transmitter schematic? Thanks for the awesome project, I can't wait to get started assembling this thing!

Sorry about that, I forgot to update the new location, it is now fixed

The link for the transmitter source at fileden seems to be down. Anyone else having problems?

Yep that's it. This page has more details on the construction of the receiver.

Sweet hack. Is this the required receiver circuit?
