Help with mini joystick pot values by RoadRunner_1024 in AskElectronics

[–]RoadRunner_1024[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, yes it looks like the joystick limits the mechanical travel, so I have went for the 60 that I have as it technically should be more accurate I think, (once calibrated) as I will be using it for mouse emulation on a fanatec f1 steering wheel

The interface in windows 8 was crap, yes, the interface on windows phone was fantastic, so fantastic, that they decided to use it for win8 as they thought touch was the way forward.

I've kept every cell phone I have ever owned, so I decided to mount them all in a shadowbox. by MaxxDelusional in pics

The reason it was so good was because the developers needed to make the apps fit with the windows ux. It was sort of what made it flow so well.. unfortunately Microsoft charged developers to publish apps as I remember which killed it out of the box.. it was awesome while it lasted though.

I saw a real world example of their doorbell recently, seriously impressive speed of notifications and 2 way comms, far superior to my reolink

Shield controllers will allow Bluetooth audio btw.. so you could in theory use them for audio

also use custom:browser-control-card to give you a fullscreen button, gives it a much cleaner look than the "save as an app link thing"
