Meet Alpakka - a customisable, #opensource controller with additional features to improve user experience and make it easier for everyone to enjoy #gaming.
Brought to you by Input Labs in support of their mission to "democratise #videogame controllers".
Wow! Not only a 3d-printable RPI peripheral, but one that has a Finnish word in its name, but not only that either, Input Labs hails from Finland! What a ride of discovery this was! Now that there is Alpakka, I can't wait for other devices with Finnish animal names like Ankka, Poro or Kuha.
I’ve been building a pi based controller for the last 2 years and I have found a real dearth of support for things like this. I had to write my own USB device descriptor because there not only isn’t a tool/library to do it for a pico, there isn’t even really any up to date examples. Ended up having to learn it with some circuitpython.
This is a demonstration of my simulated cockpit made from cardboard on a budget mainly used to play Elite Dangerous in early 2022. This is work in progress. In use: A Linux PC, A DIY Headtracker https://beko.famkos.
