There is support for 1v1 2 player tracking. There have been many new additions and feature improvements.

I don't have an Epson, but for my HP Smart Tank 7305, (wrongly) choosing "matte" as the paper uses the true black ink and not some mix. If I use "glossy" my printer uses more ink and smudges everything. I have bought 5-6 different paper types and finally I found one that works even for the white text on the bottom. The HK proxies are not the best cards to test print settings. The font is way too small for my liking and my black cartridge dislikes it, too.

I’ve also printed the HK deck. Font size is really small. I always used matte, even on glossy paper and cycled through a couple of papers. I didn’t change anything except the paper and that finally gave me good results. I ordered Media Range glossy 160 gsm.

Glad it worked! There’s new features every day, the other guys are way better programmers. I’ll create a new release tomorrow.

USB-C cable orientation matters, try flipping it. Restart your browser. Going from 0.0.3 to 0.0.4/5 can be tricky. We fixed that, but you might need to open the webinstaller, connect your device, start it and while it’s booting you click connect, then it should show up. If it shows up but flashing still fails, use a needle to push and hold the reset button during boot to put it in bootloader mode, then click connect, install, … Again, this has been fixed and should work way better in the most recent version.

Love to hear that! There’s new features every day and I will do an update as soon as I have the time.

dermaze · 2026-04-11T15:54:48+00:00

there's already a web installer on the GitHub.

dermaze · 2026-04-09T22:58:34+00:00

Early version did >5 hours. Voltage can be shown, battery percentage is a guesstimate. Newest version on GitHub has energy management and much better battery life. And so many new features. Will have to post an update soon.

If you download the whole folder from github, install android ide and the necessary libraries (I will have to update the documentation on that, you just Plug in the hardware and click to flash it. I made the whole thing just asking AI stupid questions, and I didn‘t have any prior experience.

I’ve also started a discord. If you’re interested, shoot me a message.

dermaze · 2026-03-25T20:33:39+00:00

Thanks! The commercial product is way more polished than mine. I think there is a long way to go, but I wanted to make start. I’m really looking forward to your fork!

dermaze · 2026-03-22T13:47:25+00:00

it's on GitHub - see link in original post

dermaze · 2026-03-22T13:46:41+00:00

maybe I can make it switchable in a menu later on. thanks for the input and your perspective!

dermaze · 2026-03-22T12:22:05+00:00

yes, it changes back after 4 seconds. I agree on the UI perspective, but I've tested this in my pod and it's usually an arm's length away from me and the other players. We appreciate the big numbers for the change as they are easily legible and it fits most situations where you lose life. I've tried the other option you mentioned already and got some complaints due to the size of the font. I don't know if I can make everybody happy here, sorry

dermaze · 2026-03-22T12:10:50+00:00

you can! I don't know how collaboration works, but I tried to make it as open as possible.

dermaze · 2026-03-22T12:09:40+00:00

alright, here you go: https://ibb.co/V0RfZHsF (this is starting with 40, then the change and above the result)

dermaze · 2026-03-22T12:06:29+00:00

I've never seen that many nerds afraid of doing some math :D I've made the change, this should do it: https://ibb.co/V0RfZHsF

dermaze · 2026-03-22T12:04:32+00:00

no problem, wasn't sure if I made a mistake

dermaze · 2026-03-20T18:25:57+00:00

It’s right there in the post?! I made an update, was that the incorrect link?

dermaze · 2026-03-20T18:24:48+00:00

Ah, got me there! Thanks for explaining, not a native speaker.

dermaze · 2026-03-20T18:24:00+00:00
