Simple joystick? in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

@guyrocket Well, for the arduino part, the github link i provided should cover most of the required info.
For the actual box, i was going to follow one of these 3 projects:
* bambooarcade.com (down for good but it's been backed up by archive.org)
* https://slagcoin.com/joystick/example2.html
* https://slagcoin.com/joystick/example3.html

Slagcoin.com is full of super interesting info.

Actually i just found out another project that could replace DaemonBite: https://gp2040-ce.info

I think the general instructions are pretty simple: it's just a matter of flashing the software on the board of choice, wiring everything as per the diagrams and shove everything inside a box (cardboard, ikea plastic boxes, wood, 3d printed cases... there's plenty of options)

@guyrocket i'm planning to go the DIY way: bought a joystick and a bunch of buttons on aliexpress, then the plan is to install DaemonBite (https://github.com/MickGyver/DaemonBite-Arcade-Encoder) on a arduino pro micro and stuff everything inside a wooden box.

>To users of other ActivityPub software, each Lemmy community appears to be a user; posts and comments from Lemmy appear as notes that have been reposted by the community user. Users on other types of servers can follow Lemmy communities and participate in discussions by replying to existing posts and comments, but they may not be able to create new top-level posts of their own, unless the software that they're using also supports the concept of discussion groups. Lemmy users can subscribe to communities on their own and other servers, but cannot follow individual accounts, although they can exchange direct messages with them.

La morale è che sì, da Mastodon si può leggere Lemmy, ma è borderline impraticabile, peccato (vedere ad es. @technology)
