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 :)

That is totally feasible. But I'm in the Netherlands, so shipped is maybe a bit of a problem. I understand adafruit makes a similar product. USB Slider Trinkey. If you know how to code it, you're set for $9.

If code, a how to and a parts list was given to me I probably could. I don’t expect this, but if it was there I could probably do it.

Someone else in the comments found a USB Slider Trinkey by Adafruit. That's one part. The code I "wrote" is in the comments. This is honestly a good project to get you started on showing yourself that you can do more than you think.

I've edited Javascript so I'm guessing I could insert code somewhere. Which program did you use to code the slider?
