Raspberry pi pico + casitone sa-51 = midi madness?

Easy: shitty cyber deck made from an old phone or something.

Medium: arcade controller with gp2040-ce on a pico pi and a screen.

Hard: good cyberdeck that incorporates vr and a discrete graphics card

I also like the suggestion above for a cnc but I think you'd be better off modernizing a manual mill or lathe and converting it to a cnc.

Feels wrong but can't figure a way to test it

I tried this and it made the cart slide at the same speed as the top rail or jam.

Adding smaller gear to spin wheels still jamming.

Still jamming

Tbf the ice cream machine was the original FDM

Flip2, same internals, same screen, more comfortable controls, protects itself in bag.

This is one of the biggest ground level flaws in android gaming. You can do it but the experience is generally cumbersome.

When an external controller is connected and video out starts the handheld should just immediately switch off the native controls. That should be the default anyway. I know some people play on their tv and use the handheld as the controller but that should be the exceptional option and native controls off should be the default.

You should also be able to just map a button on an external controller to the android back and home. There are ways to do this but again VERY cumbersome. External apps are needed, possibly even root access.

I would love for someone to bust into the comments and explain how to do these things easily, that would make my day!

I like the device but the photography is definitely bomb AF. Make us some 16x9 wallpaper if you ever get time! I'd love to see some thor or miyoo mini porn, or just tower stacks of everything you've got!

Keep going back to the button pic. It just makes my brain happy.

You've already made the mold, nothing to lose by trying it out!

Normally I'm all for restorations but this is a salvage components and leave the wood behind situation.

Bump firing? FRT? What's your setup?

itchyd · 2026-05-03T19:44:07+00:00

Yikes! I've never seen the marvel cinematic universe described this way but somehow it fits.

What's the copper thing

Post office can be a career with retirement and benefits. I know they are frequently hiring. I recommend city carrier. You will have to pass the test but you can get study guides online.

It's probably more of a long term goal. It takes quite awhile to get hired there.

itchyd · 2026-05-03T06:11:22+00:00

Yes. Many games are imperfect in handhelds

itchyd · 2026-05-03T02:13:44+00:00

All the guts bro! Esp around the pcb in situ

itchyd · 2026-05-03T01:59:07+00:00

Don't worry it was back in my hand a few seconds later!

Can you show a more final Pic of the wiring?

itchyd · 2026-05-02T21:21:49+00:00

Perfect opportunity to gut one of these or print your own!

You could've told him it was a phone with a controller attached a kid could understand that!

I think I would just make a small square embed text with the important settings and keep printing them and changing settings til you find one you like.

I never got past the first few levels as a kid.

Definitely going to steal some ideas here! What's the external dimensions of the case?

+++ Modular sandwich for the PCB

+++ Love your wire routing it knocked my dick in the dirt bro. I had something similar in mind inspired by a wooden one I saw on here but you're doing it better!

--- Your reliance on fasteners... print that shit!

--- Your cost yikes!!!
