  • Ask HN: How to get started with practical hardware?

    Agreed that keyboards are a good early project. To add to that, if you play video games, leverless arcade controllers can be a fun build also. Pretty similar overall as far as parts and shape, but the firmware they run (stuff like GP2040-CE or HayBox) make them act as controllers instead of keyboards, and they can even work on game consoles. Specifically I'd recommend the Flatbox rev 5[0] and the Open-Frame1[1].

  • Troubleshooting print rotated diagonal

    Tried to print this case bottom https://github.com/jfedor2/flatbox/blob/master/hardware-rev5/3d-printed-case/Flatbox-rev5-Bottom-hotswap.stl on my a1 mini. It doesn’t fit horizontal or vertical so I rotated it diagonally and it was doing fine until just over 50%. It did ask me to change camera to smooth and wanted to add a tower that wouldn’t fit. But I went with the warning on traditional. Any ideas how to make this work or why it went bad.
  • What is the best way to make JFedor's Github Flatbox project Xbox Series X compatible?

    I am in the middle of building this https://github.com/jfedor2/flatbox/tree/master/hardware-rev4 and had the following epiphany "wait a minute, is this even compatible with the Xbox Series X?"

    If you have access to 3d printer and can do basic soldering you can make one yourself, so it'd be even cheaper, since it's based on jFedor's flatbox, which itself is a variation of many of his prototypes you can find on thingverse.

  • FAQ and Fightstick Question MEGATHREAD, Continued
    1 project | /r/fightsticks | 27 Jun 2023
    Does it exist someone who sells flatbox-like case/pcb where can I plug my own Brook UFB (I already have one)? https://github.com/jfedor2/flatbox, this Flatbox has a Brook Ps3/Ps4 version, but that board is squared, I don't think a UFB can fit. There are plenty of versions of this on Aliexpress. I don't know how to modify / make my own starting from that repository, no one else already did something compatible with UFB?

    I think Junkfood Arcade is the only one to have the Brook Fusion integrated. The next best thing (that I know of) is the flatbox, which is open sourced so you can get one made yourself - https://github.com/jfedor2/flatbox
  • Is it possible to use an analog stick instead of buttons for a RP2040-Zero based controller
    1 project | /r/fightsticks | 25 Jun 2023
    First of all, I was on my way trying to make a flatbox following jfedor2's guide (https://github.com/jfedor2/flatbox/tree/master/hardware-rev5), as I was searching around, I stumbled on a post of someone trying to get/make a fightstick for their cousin who has only one hand. This got me curious and with a little bit of research, it seems to me that there isn't any well-known solution for single-handed controllers.
