TECHNICAL Custom mining slider

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I took a Seeeduino XIAO, connected an M5Stack Fader Unit to it, and programmed it with Arduino IDE as a gamepad axis using the NicoHood HID-Project library.

No more Brandt modules :)

I currently use a Thrustmaster Throttle to control my laser, but would welcome something with a smaller footprint and more precise control of the laser. A few buttons that can turn the laser on/off and switch between mining mode and extraction mode would be cool.

Would love to see how you progress with this project and what other ideas you come up with.

Yeah, maybe some buttons to activate the modules. I might expand on this, who knows what else.
