[DIY Leverless Controller] Build #2: Crafting a Multi-Platform Leverless Controller with Raspberry Pi Pico & Budget Parts (Part 1: Setup & Firmware Guide)
In the previous installment, "Part 5: Implementing the SOCD Circuit," Build #1 was successfully completed after a brutal, gritty battle—stacking two 74HC132 logic ICs in point-to-point free-air wiring within an ultra-cramped space just to keep it wireless using a recycled board. While we managed to achieve "neutral" on simultaneous left/right inputs via hardware logic, my […]
