Question

[Al3601]

Hello and thank you for sharing this great litlle project.

did some testing to see how it work, but had some troubles.

after flashing the RP2040 is not detected as a HID device, is this normal ?

How you assign each button and label ?

for me all labels are set to "b\HO=" buttons and switch does nothing, only the two encoders are interacting with screen.

It only registers the CDC (Serial COM Port) and the joysticks. I couldn't figure out how to name it yet. But flashing over the serial should work. The display reads data from the Flash, because it's not initialized you get the outputs. Try send this commands over the serial: 0;0;A 0;1;B 0;2;C 0;3;D 0;4;E 0;5;F 0;6;G 0;7;H 0;8;I 0;9;J 0;10;K 0;11;L 0;12;M SAVE The first number is the page, the second the label position. SAVE writes it to the flash. I want to create a program to set it comfortable over UI but could not find the time yet. All buttons except for the rotary buttons are set up as a 3x8 matrix. I used 8 inputs, because my switches have a common connector. The row pins are set es output and in the button loop one pin will be set to LOW, then it will check the cols pins (input) if there are LOW (pressed). Then it proceeds with the next pin and shifts it in the gamepad register. I hope I could help you a bit with the information. Al3601 ***@***.***> schrieb am Fr. 21. Juni 2024 um 04:56:

Nice ! that was helpful, got it working now .
any way to give a name for each simulated gamepad ? they are all named "pico" wich is confusing.

That's a whole topic for itself, also discussed here: MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary#14

I think without a custom driver it's not possible.

i did my tests, and it is possible.

cannot push a commit but here is how i did it :

add these 3 lines to the loop.ino file

` // Initialize gamepad

TinyUSBDevice.setManufacturerDescriptor("Name");

TinyUSBDevice.setProductDescriptor("XXX Controller");

// optionnal only if second pico devide connected (this change the Vendor ID)

TinyUSBDevice.setID(0x2e8a, 0x000a);`

results

still not perfect as i wanted a generated number/page "Controller 1 " Controller 2" etc, il do more tests.

next step is splash screen per page and changing the screen for a 3" touch screen.

Thank you, that's great! You can create a fork and a merge request, then I can add your contribution.
