Streamdeck XL Support? #5

Closed WitoTV closed 2 years ago

WitoTV commented 2 years ago

Is there some possibility of an extension of this so it presents itself as streamdeck XL? I don't know a lot about raspberry pi pico but if we could wirelessly send data to an android device via Bluetooth or just straight-up websockets maybe we could have a custom app there to display stuff and pass "click" events. aka. pico acting as a relay between PC and Android app.

I sadly myself lack knowledge about C and HID to perform this so this is mostly a question of interest.

(I would have not used issues but I was not able to find other way of contact)

From my experiments running the pico as a StreamDeck XL or even a regular StreamDeck will overwhelm the usb stack when the software sends down the data for the button images. I do have plans in the future to look into seeing if the Pi zero can handle this by implementing a custom usb gadget.

Yea good point. I will wait then for some possible updates (new project, repo, etc) on the topic. Thank you.
