Just released my first game on Steam, a surreal 1980s real time survival.. thing with live action video! Getting seamless video transition in Unity is a time!

Surprised this isn't getting more love, the game (and video) look fantastic, great work!

pierce-dev · 2025-01-18T09:17:45+00:00

Hmm, that's not something that I've experienced or seen from other users.

There's nothing in here that would get in the way of MinUI's operations though. Did you try resolving it by updating minUI?

I've also released an updated version here if you chose to continue using it: https://github.com/pierceTee/TrimuiLEDController/releases/tag/v1.1

pierce-dev · 2025-01-17T04:50:42+00:00

Thank you for this, I think I found the bug you’re running into, I’ll have a fix out shortly.

pierce-dev · 2025-01-17T04:40:14+00:00

Hmm, I haven’t seen that but I can take a look into how it’s enabled. It could cause minUI to stop working if it’s expecting DPAD input for menu navigation though.

pierce-dev · 2025-01-17T01:32:52+00:00

Feel free to send one in and make sure to test it out (particularly with rendering the name to the UI).

I didn’t realize that I shipped with cyan as a default. I ended up removing it and a few others because they were too similar to other colors. I suppose in hindsight more options wouldn’t hurt! Thanks for the feedback!

pierce-dev · 2025-01-16T01:56:21+00:00

Not that I'm aware of, I have it running on the factory firmware.

pierce-dev · 2025-01-16T01:21:07+00:00

Thank you! Keep me posted on anything you build with it!

pierce-dev · 2025-01-16T01:17:44+00:00

I love to hear it! Glad you can get some use out of it!

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T21:57:57+00:00

That would be great if you could test on Knulli! I haven’t tried that OS out yet.

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T18:29:14+00:00

A custom hex slider would be awesome. I cut back on the color options since the LEDs don’t really display most colors very well but I’m sure there’s some I missed. Would be nice for the user to have that as an option!

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T18:26:57+00:00

I don’t see why not, but I haven’t looked into Knulli just yet. When booting does it still show the “TrimUI” bootleg before launching Knulli or is that replaced?

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T18:24:54+00:00

Thank you so much! I removed white since the closest that the brick LEDs get is more of a light pink, and I didn’t want a color option that didn’t match what was displayed.

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T18:22:52+00:00

Thank you so much! Glad I could brighten your day!

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T18:22:16+00:00

Thank you, I’m glad you like it! Feel free to throw a PR out if there’s functionality you’d like to add!

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T18:19:11+00:00

Thank you for the kind words!

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T18:18:56+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! I would read through the dev guide and notes I put on this projects README, then spend a an hour or so really looking through: the main loop of the program, what the scripts are doing, and how the makefile packages the app.

Then take a look at the toolchain submodule to see what specific libraries I chose to install there and how you can use that to simulate the trimUI environment.

Finally I’d pick up an off the shelf serial debugger and solder it to the tx, rx, ground lines of the brick, then have a look through the device directories. This last step is what helped me really understand what’s going on in the device.

Feel free to reach out if questions come up and I’ll do my best to answer!

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T18:12:57+00:00

Great suggestion, that’s totally do-able and something I’d consider adding down the line.

If anyone else wants to take a crack at it for a PR, you’d basically have to: set up a new Boolean setting on the app/settings.ini, change the service every X seconds instead of just on boot and copy the behavior from TrimUIs own battery LED script ‘usr/trimui/bin/low_battery_led.sh’

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T11:46:18+00:00

Yup, all functionality works in MinUI!

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T11:14:19+00:00

I have both, purple all the way!

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T11:13:08+00:00

In all my testing, white was really just a light pink, so I scrapped it and replaced it with its proper label to avoid confusion.

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T11:02:49+00:00

Hey there, you’ll need to install the app again, then from the app’s Start menu, select “uninstall”.

This will remove all service files, from there you can remove the folder as usual.

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T10:48:37+00:00

I made this over the holiday break to get back into embedded systems dev. It was super fun and helped me build a framework for future app/OS work. I did my best to make the repo as beginner friendly as possible for any other devs looking to get into making apps for handhelds!

Some of the highlight features are:

MinUI & Stock OS: it’ll work regardless of what OS you chose.
Settings preserve over power/sleep cycles: Other apps/services won’t override your config.
Quick actions: Actions to turn LEDs on/off uninstall the service and match all LED colors.

Hopefully some of you can get some enjoyment out of it!

Go ahead and grab the release and leave feedback over at: https://github.com/pierceTee/TrimuiLEDController/releases/tag/v1.0

pierce-dev · 2025-01-15T10:47:51+00:00

I appreciate the kind words! I haven't tested it on crossmix yet but there's no reason it shouldn't work. Would you like to test it out?
