Yep, I saw the firmware was modifiable, I wasn't sure if it was physically capable of bidirectional comms, for on other reason than curiosity.
This might be the stupidest question you've ever had, but would it possible for this device to work in reverse with the appropriate gender changers (allow a usb mouse to work on an amiga)?
I know this one does not, but would it be difficult to make one that does ?It would be of great use to us to be able to use USB joysticks and joypads on Amigas.
Hum... A quick hack would be to solder a DB9 with wires inside a new controller. Just respect the pinout of each direction and buttons.
It's easier to use playstation pads and there are already interfaces that allow those AFAIK. USB host mode is harder because most mcu's are designed for USB client mode, but it is possible to do it. Whether anyone will do it is another matter.
I also confirm compatibility with the Raspberry PI Platform. Cheers! :drink:
Is it possible to connect an Amiga mouse and use it as generic USB mouse with AEROS & other Pi OSes?
Hum... A quick hack would be to solder a DB9 with wires inside a new controller. Just respect the pinout of each direction and buttons. This is not optimal if you own a 10 button gamepad but... It's better than nothing. The issue with bulding such a device is to emulate the host instead of the endpoint. USB joysticks are not equally made... This means that there would be a lot of incompatible device...
