I used to post on this blog whenever I finished a project, but these days I typically just put it on GitHub and call it a day. I think some of these projects deserve separate posts, but just in case I never get around to it, here's what I've been doing for the last three years or so.
- HID Remapper: programmable adapter for USB input devices. Remap buttons, make keyboards work as game controllers, make joysticks work as mice or vice versa. Lots of cool stuff, including accessibility applications.
- Flatbox: this one got its own post, but I've made a few more variants since then, including a wireless one!
- Trackballs: I made a PCB with an RP2040 chip and a PMW3360 mouse sensor that can be used to quickly prototype mice and trackballs. Then I made a few trackballs using it. Notable mentions: spherical trackball, two-ball trackball, trackball with twist-to-scroll, trackball with scroll ring.
- Slimbox Generator: a website for rapid prototyping of leverless controller layouts. Generates 3D-printable files.
- PlayStation Access Controller Profile Editor: a website for editing the button mapping on a PlayStation Access controller without a PS5.
- HID Forwarder: a system for sending synthetic inputs from a PC to something like a Nintendo Switch, over serial, wifi or Bluetooth, with potential accessibility applications.
- Slimbox BT: wireless game controller firmware for nRF52 chips.
- Zero Latency Gamepad: lots of products claim low latency, mine actually comes very close to what's physically possible on Full Speed USB.
- Latency tester: speaking of latency, I made my own latency tester for game controllers and other USB input devices because I wasn't happy with existing ones.
- Spaceball 2003 USB adapter and Magellan/SpaceMouse USB adapter: these let you use ancient RS-232 3D mice with modern software.
- Google Meet mute button: a physical button that lets you mute your microphone on a Google Meet call regardless of which window is active and has a nice LED indicator to show when you're on call and if the microphone is muted.
- PS5 adapter for old Logitech wheels: play Gran Turismo 7 with the Logitech Driving Force Pro wheel from 2003. Possibly other old Logitech wheels.
- RPM lights for Gran Turismo 7: use GT7 network telemetry to make pretty physical shift lights for your virtual car.
- Screen Hopper: smart KVM switch that lets you just drag the cursor from one computer to another, no software required. A hack on top of HID Remapper.
