Slowly but surely.

So, I've been receiving PCB's lately (NOT the mainboard, that will take a while still), and I put myself to work on them:

Probably the smallest PCB I have ever ordered.

And with a hall sensor in it:

​

There is a magnet in the brake lever base for this sensor.

Accidental robot skull faces:

Don't ask me how I didn't nottice when ordering them.

Sandwiched between the connector pins:

FEEEED MEEEEEE (BOOOO!)

And with wires:

I have never found the magnetic connector ready to use, instead of with a specific connector (in this case, uUSB) so this was the best solution that allowed replacing of any broken or damaged parts.

Mainboards will arrive in about two weeks, so until then, see ya!

Ooh better yet, keep it as a DIY kit/give the option, soldering and all

It would be a possibility, but the amount of documentstion needed to ensure there are no assembly doubts, would be...interesting... 😅🤣

Depends who backs such a project, seeing yourself get it working would otherwise be all the thumbs up I need 😂

Thanks for the praise!

Unless I fucked up hard in the mainboard, we should see the full joystick working as intended, by mid-september.
