Wireless HID to SBUS #2

Open Harosteadi opened 1 month ago

Harosteadi commented 1 month ago

Hello, my idea is to convert a handwheels controlling a mouse (HID) to control a device working with SBUS protocol.

The wheels I have are based on a Raspberry Pi Pico.

I already have on my hands now a conversion box that uses a Teensy 4.0 with a big expansion board to have a USB A and a LED indicator with a Lemon RX DSMP transmitter and a tiny reciever.

So, I would like to build my own conversion and transmitter system that takes the input from the HID wheels and sends wireless to the device with SBUS protocol.

I have some questions: You say: "It can be run on a raspberry pi pico with some external wiring" so, as the wheels I have are based on a Raspberry Pi Pico, can I just use the same electronics to translate the info, I supose the same microprocessor can't do both tasks, take the info from the encoders and traslate to HID and also translate it to SBUS... Thinking on minimising the setup as much as possible, but I don't want to loose the option to use the wheels as simulator on the comuter too.

Why Adafruit AdaLogger FeatherWing is needed? The conversion table is not loaded to the microprocessor? I am super neewbe, sorry. I will only use the handwheels as a controller, not other HID imputs for now.

Thanks a lot.
