arpruss Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 (edited) I made a USB spinner controller using an AS5601 magnetic rotary sensor and an stm32f103c8t6 blue pill. The spinner is ball-bearing mounted and super smooth, and the plastics are 3D printed. Parts cost is about $20. As is usual for USB spinners, the spinner is mapped to the horizontal axis of a mouse. It also has an optional port where you can plug a Wii Nunchuck for games that need a stick and a spinner (e.g., Mad Planets). There is also a mode (press button 3 while turning it on) where it emulates Stelladapted 2600 Driving Controller.

Jess Ragan Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I like the compact size, but I really, really wish you'd manufacture these for purchase like Peabo Bryson Land does. I'm not jazzed about having to flash an Arduino and print out plastic parts from a 3D printer I don't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
