 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

If you can run any of the USB variants of the firmware and have any sort of Gamepad please help get it supported by MMBasic Here are USB variants of V6.00.00b12 PicoMiteUSBV6.00.02b12.zip If you load this firmware and plug your gamepad in you may see a message "Generic Gamepad Connected on channel 3". If so then your gamepad is supported and should work properly. If not then we need to add your gamepad to the configuration so please do the following. Unplug the gamepad and reboot. Then run the attached Basic program following the instructions exactly. If this works then you should get a printout with some C configuration code and then a (long) Basic command. These are listings of two files gamepad.txt and gamepadsetup.bas which will be saved on the A: drive. Post the contents of gamepad.txt to this thread and I will add the configuration to the MMBasic firmware To use your gamepad in the interim do the following: Unplug the gamepad Reboot Run the program gamepadsetup.bas plug in your gamepad and it should now be recognised and work. Note that the configuration will last until the Pico is rebooted so after each reboot you will need to run the program again WITHOUT the gamepad plugged in.

Hello matherp, can I also help you test this with my Olimex RP2040-PICO-PC board? I was able to successfully install and configure the version PicoMiteHDMIUSBV6.00.02b11.uf2. Here are the necessary installation steps as a reminder: 1. flash the PicoMiteHDMIUSB on the Raspberry PI Pico 2 2. connect the USB keyboard to the Pico 2 (if necessary with a USB-C to USB-A adapter) 3. type the following command blindly: OPTION RESET OLIMEXUSB 4. reset the Olimex board I have now tried to install your new version PicoMiteRP2350VGAUSBV6.00.02b12.uf2. But apparently my USB keyboard doesn't work anymore to type the command. I guess because now a USB gamepad is supported and not a USB keyboard, right? Edited 2025-02-26 08:04 by ManiB |

Ohhh no, I had used the wrong UF2 file ;( After I installed the PicoMiteHDMIUSBV6.00.02b12.uf2, it worked immediately, without entering OPTION RESET OLIMEXUSB Now I can test my gamepads.... |

I have a "Logitech F310 dual action" gamepad that I purchased at a thrift store (second hand store, charity shop?). It has a switch on the back to switch "modes" With the switch in the 'D' position your program reports the following: .vid=0x46D,.pid=0xC216, .b_R1={255,0}, .b_START={255,0}, .b_HOME={255,0}, .b_SELECT={255,0}, .b_L1={255,0}, .b_DOWN={255,0}, .b_RIGHT={255,0}, .b_UP={255,0}, .b_LEFT={255,0}, .b_R2={255,0}, .b_X={255,0}, .b_A={255,0}, .b_Y={255,0}, .b_B={255,0}, .b_L2={255,0}, .b_TOUCH={255,0} }, gamepad configure &H46D,&HC216,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0 With the switch in the 'X' position it reports the following: .vid=0x0,.pid=0x0, .b_R1={255,0}, .b_START={255,0}, .b_HOME={255,0}, .b_SELECT={255,0}, .b_L1={255,0}, .b_DOWN={255,0}, .b_RIGHT={255,0}, .b_UP={255,0}, .b_LEFT={255,0}, .b_R2={255,0}, .b_X={255,0}, .b_A={255,0}, .b_Y={255,0}, .b_B={255,0}, .b_L2={255,0}, .b_TOUCH={255,0} }, gamepad configure &H0,&H0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0,255,0 With the switch in the 'X' position, hardwaretester.com reports it as "xinput" which I believe is XBox compatible. I assume that the above info indicates that this specific gamepad is not compatible with the PicoMite firmware in either mode? -Carl |

I have tried to connect the "The Gamepad". But there was no response when I plugged it into the USB socket. What could be the reason for this? |

I like the Logitech F310 because with the switch set to D, it works on virtually all Macs made in the past 25 years. When the switch is set to X and connected to a PC, it works as an X-Box controller. |

Looks like you are releasing the button before pressing the key on the keyboard - did you use a USB keyboard connected to the Pico? If so please repeat using a computer console session and only have the gamepad plugged into the Pico - nothing else. The monitor log shows the device is responding but the output is no use. |

Still something odd - lots of UPs and Downs, I think I can see what is happening - very strange response with 4 bytes changing for both UP and DOWN. What firmware version are you using and I'll post a test version. Edited 2025-02-28 20:36 by matherp |

I've noticed that, but even if I repeat it, it doesn't change. I have connected the gemapad to the Pico's USB port. Putty is connected to the serial port on the Olimex board. I keep pressing via Putty while holding down the respective gamepad button. I'm using PicoMiteHDMIUSBV6.00.02b12.uf2 Edited 2025-02-28 20:48 by ManiB |
