- VSCode
- PlatformIO extension (it will prompt to install when the project is opened in VSCode)
- Python (automatically installed with PlatformIO)
- Godot 4.6.2

The first time flashing to the STM32, you must hold down the
BOOT0button while the STM32 powers on (i.e. after resetting) to enter bootloader mode. Then, inside VSCode, using the PlatformIO extension, use the "Upload" button in the top right (hotkey Ctrl + Alt + U), which will trigger compilation and upload to the device. -
Subsequent firmware flashes from PlatformIO will automatically enter bootloader mode. Manual reset into bootloader mode may still be needed if there are serial communication issues during development
My intention for this firmware/software package is that it could be used in any future bespoke input device that I design.
- Improvements to the desktop app UI
- Better preset handling
- Customizable layouts to accomodate different designs
- Improvements to the firmware
- Performance improvements
- Microcontroller compatibility (specifically ESP32 boards and Bluetooth)
- Saving presets to the system ROM
- Advanced input types and augmentations (macros, counter-strafe helper, etc)
