From the project
Groove Coaster Style Pico Controller
Features: It's small but closely replicates the feel of the arcade controller. Works as a Nintendo Switch controller. Stereo haptic feedback. Command line for configurations. * All source files open.
Thanks to many respectful guys/companies who made their tools or materials free or open source (KiCad, OnShape, InkScape, Raspberry things).
Special thanks to community developers that inspired me and helped me: CrazyRedMachine (https://github.com/CrazyRedMachine), asesidaa (https://github.com/asesidaa).
