@MitchHHL You can't put the genie back in the bottle.

Mitch keeps the title of legend for doing this, library looks super clean, bt stack agnostic. No notes.

@krikzz Thank you! That’s amazing to hear.

[James Smith @loopj]

@krikzz hey krikzz! any plans to publish dev sources for the gba pro series, like you have for the mini series? looking to add everdrive gba pro support to my custom launcher

@RobertDaleSmith you're gonna need a bigger wall

I've attempted to map everything in oncology in a public website and open source repo for all.

The site is trying to get all cancers, products, technologies, bottlenecks, people, startup opportunities with 1000+ ideas for upgrading the field.

If you have a loved one with cancer and you are technical or can engineer, go take a look, file improvement requests or bugs or help with the open repo and make this the best open and free info resource for individuals, researchers and educational use.

This should save people time, aid AI oncology projects and generate positive action. If you are not technical just complain in this thread about broken or annoying or things you want and I'll fix them live.

There are other views as well, take a browse.

Try making a PR if you have an upgrade to this on the repo here: https://t.co/2Dw0ufEJ3z

If you are biologically/medically minded and something is wrong, file a bug as well or say on the thread and we will get it fixed live.

If this is a useful project star the repo and help get it calibrated.

I've tried to add some other languages but I cannot speak them so tell me if that doesnt work well.

I believe we will crack oncology and having total information dominance is key to the problem.

Let the feedback flow!

@analogue hey folks! I spent a long time chasing what I thought was a bug in my homebrew, but seems to be analogue3d behavior, not present on OEM N64. Controller Paks > 256kbit don't seem to work. Using a 4mbit controller pak on Analogue3d makes it appear as a 256kbit.

I wanted to share some pictures of something I've been working on for fun: A Nintendo Switch Lite SP! This mod will give the Switch Lite a folding form factor to make it closer to a 3DS!

[James Smith @loopj]

@dubesinhower you forgot the most important part, it's 4:3 aspect ratio now!

[natalie @natalie_thenerd]

You wouldn't reverse engineer a DS Lite 🚨🚔

[James Smith @loopj]

@RobertDaleSmith @Benathon let's be honest, you don't need any encouragement lol

[James Smith @loopj]

@RobertDaleSmith @Benathon I'd skip an SDR and use something like a TI CC1101, assuming you can reverse engineer the protocol! Much cheaper and embeddable.

[James Smith @loopj]

If you're building a portable or a custom controller, give it a try. Feedback welcome!

[James Smith @loopj]

Calibration and shaping get combined into a small precomputed transform at boot (or whenever they change). The poll loop just calls "apply", a handful of integer operations with no FPU required. Plain C99, no dependencies, no allocation.

[James Smith @loopj]

Shaping comes second, and is where the feel comes from. Inner and outer deadzones in axial or radial shapes, gamma response curves, and circular, square, or octagonal virtual gates, all in one struct you can change at runtime without recalibrating.

[James Smith @loopj]

Calibration comes first. Pickaxes runs a calibration session on the firmware that captures rest position, min and max travel, and orientation. Release the stick, push it in each direction, rotate it around the rim. Drive it from a homebrew app or a button combo on the device.

[James Smith @loopj]

I'm open sourcing Pickaxes, a C library for calibrating and shaping analog sticks and triggers on 32-bit microcontrollers, designed for people building portables and custom controllers. https://t.co/8Dsrn6PCxW

[James Smith @loopj]

Portablizers cobble together sticks and triggers from whatever fits the design, things like Joycon sticks, 3DS sliders, and random ALPS sticks from Digikey. Pickaxes lets you tune the raw ADC values from these to match OEM feel, or to your own preference.

@RobertDaleSmith somebody stop this madlad before he gains too much power
