ConvolutedController
A wireless Controller built to be used for PC gameing
May 26 The Start
I decided to make a controller that both doesn't have stick drift but also is wireless
The controller will use Hall effect joysticks
also started the scematic and learned I am a fool and that - goes to grd and not +
** Total time spent 3hr **
May 29 Short bit
I am going to fix the PCB and all that stuff because I kinda messed it up
I need to setup a swith for the joystick inputs because I have 3 pins and need 4 so I am going to have it constantly switch
** Total Time Spent 1hr **
May 30
I have decided that there will only be 1 Joystick so I wont need to do cursed stuff
I also finished the scematic
** Total Time Spent 2hr **

June 4th Part 2 Electric Boogaloo
Found out that ZMK does not support my new Micro Controller so I need to find a different one.
I am now going to use SparkFun Pro Micro - RP2040
It has 4 ADC pins and is actualy supported by ZMK
** Total Time Spent 1 hr **
June 5th Finding that I messed up
so I need a different micro controller because the new one I chose does not have any ADC pins so I will be useing Seeed Studio XIAO RP2040
- wiki.seeedstudio.com/XIAO-RP2040/
I also started on the firmwere configs useing ZMK
I found that insted of useing ZMK I am going to use PassingLink
this comes with the stuff to just flash the firmwere
also I am once again going to change controller for the Adafruit Feather nRF52840 because It works with a battery and is recommended for the firmwere
and I wont need to write the firmwere myself.
** Total Time Spent 6.5 hr **
