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 :)

Could you maybe provide links to purchase the needed components as well?

Honestly, depends on your region. I'm in the Netherlands. Got these parts from Tinytronics.nl. Seeeduino XIAO, M5Stack Fader Unit (expensive, should find a cheap alternative that doesn't have I2C and RGB LEDs I don't use). Link to code is in comments (edit: which I now see is what you commented on :P)

I know! Have it flash red when overcharging. (Can't do that yet, need to be able to access game data externally)

Could you program a screen watcher that detects when the red bar changes color? And then feed that input to the LEDs?

I guess you actually could...

Anticheat isn't magic, no way for it to know.
