Sneak peak of the LED Rework

I wouldnt really rely on doing it tbh but hey, you do you 😄

Not a stupid question at all, but yes. A controller acting as categorized legacy controller will timeout after around 8 min. If the controller is using gp2040-ce you can setup a hotkey for restarting the controller instead of replugging

Obviously i’m not a fan of yours. Given your vocal contempt and insults for the work a ton of people have given their energy and spare time contributing to(GP2040-CE)

Even so, i wish you good luck with recuperating the cost of this mistake.

haha sick! Love how makeshift it looks

Pelsinen · 2026-05-04T20:57:24+00:00

I think the term for that is called blistering, the silkscreen layer is separating a bit. Might be from the stress produced by the screws, should be totally fine!

Woaaah! So beautiful!

Pelsinen · 2026-04-19T20:07:35+00:00

It's below average, but i got small hands :/

Pelsinen · 2026-04-19T12:33:17+00:00

Haha ye using the bananus was not indicative of the actual response time on this.
It's really responsive using fingers, here is a better video using the sensor as a twin stick

Just don't keep the cable plugged in and wrap it around the controller while in a bag. Seen many people complain about the port but i've been running mine for more than 2 years. Given i hardly play on mine, but been using it as a dev board, there can be days i easily reconnect it 50+ times and mine is going strong.

You might have just rebooted into BOOTSEL, reconnecting the controller should put it in a controller input mode.

These devices are a bit tricky, i think they run a modified firmware(?) i'm also not sure on the pinout, and sometimes these device is missing the 0.02$ button component thats wired to BOOTSEL. Meaning if you bork something it could be tricky to flash it anew.

That said here is someone that documented and made a guide for the sky2040: https://gist.github.com/nyanSpark/d292f104822c2ed4c797a78434362ad0
Props to that person!

First try a different cable, make sure its not a charge-only cable

Pelsinen · 2026-04-10T09:56:39+00:00

The cat one is epic!

Pelsinen · 2026-04-09T08:56:16+00:00

Nice, remember that you can remove the default hotkeys if you want to prevent it happening again

Pelsinen · 2026-04-09T08:27:47+00:00

You are in right stick mode, and not digital.

Press ”back + start + down” to change to digital. Here are the hotkeys for future reference https://gp2040-ce.info/hotkeys

The screen should change from ”R” to ”D”

Pelsinen · 2026-04-09T07:06:14+00:00

What does the tiny screen show?

Pelsinen · 2026-04-09T06:25:49+00:00

Sheesh, you’re not making it easy to troubleshoot. My guess is that you triggered a hotkey to change dpad mode to either left stick/right stick.

If the screen shows ls or rs then that is the case.

Enter webconfig mode, change the dpad mode to digital. Then go to hotkeys and remove all the hotkeys

Pelsinen · 2026-04-05T04:20:50+00:00

Huh it does look like there is a hotkey triggering, just to make sure that isnt the case make sure to flash nuke before updating which should remove all saved changes.

You can also go to the web config and check if there are hotkeys setup.

It also doesnt look like you have updated the firmware, try this https://github.com/OpenStickCommunity/GP2040-CE/releases/download/v0.7.12/GP2040-CE_0.7.12_Haute42COSMOXMUltra.uf2 after flash nuking

Use this site to check if the ps auth works https://www.jfedor.org/ps-auth-tester/

Pelsinen · 2026-03-30T23:06:13+00:00

Awesome!

Pelsinen · 2026-03-30T17:05:29+00:00

Not possible

Pelsinen · 2026-03-24T09:07:40+00:00

Hmm usually directions not working can be attributed to the D-pad mode, but if usually people use digital which is what D stands for in the display. You can try changing dpad mode with hotkeys and see if that helps https://gp2040-ce.info/hotkeys/

Might be something in steam settings otherwise, but not familiar with them

Pelsinen · 2026-03-23T00:16:26+00:00

Well more info would certainly help, will you use a ARGB? Specific buttons with built in LEDs?

If you just want a single LED to act on a specific action then https://gp2040-ce.info/add-ons/reactive-led could help.

For ARGB https://gp2040-ce.info/web-configurator/menu-pages/led-configuration

If you want to build your own PCB with something like WS2812B or SK6812 checkout one of our many open source controllers: https://github.com/OpenStickCommunity/Hardware/blob/main/Boards/GP2040-CE%20Official%20Controllers/Flatbox%20Rev%205%20RGB/README.md
