I think it works pretty well. The mini-joystick is the same as in the Joystick nā Rumble Hat, buttons are typical clicky type. Iād like to try the non-clicky buttons, but donāt have any old gamepads laying around.
I looked at the issue I had with the shoulder buttons and it seems that I just need to rotate the switch component 90 degrees on the circuit board and they will fit perfectly.
You should consider adding mounts for an internal IĀ²C gyroscope/accelerometer module and wiring it to the PEX I2C_SDA and I2C_SCL pins. Maybe wire the moduleās INT pin to an interrupt capable PEX pin, as well.
Looks fabulous! I like the new 3d printed PEX connector socket as you can now aim the socket without need to watch closely. Maybe also orange could have been a suitable color for the socket (?).
I also like matching backside colors of Pokitto and the controller.
If there are enough person having these controllers, itād be cool to make and share games for them.
The interesting thing is that we can also repurpose them quite easily too
Would it be a good idea to ask @jpfli if he can make a batch of these controllers for sale? Or do you rather 3d-print, solder and build the controller by yourself?
It would be interesting if the parts could be jiggled around a bit to allow the pokitto to sit flush āinsideā the controller so that it is clipped onto the inside rather than the frontā¦
