Comment on MaplePad – RP2040 Dreamcast controller, VMU, and Purupuru (rumble pack) emulatorparent

Comments

Really interested in putting together some kind of USB host to HID over GATT profile or Bluetooth HID to i2c/UART bridge.

We’re (Pimoroni) closing on shipping a dual RP2040 HDMI board (PicoVision) that’s great for bedroom coder style games, but lack of full fat Bluetooth support or USB HID host in MicroPython - and the relative pain of making and supporting a build that includes these features - make adding controllers… tricky.

Now I wish I’d kept the Dreamcast controller I modded with a custom cable to poke Maple bus. Hindsight!
