@hrvach thank you so much for sharing the concept - it's basically my geeky Christmas wish. 🎄 Regarding the polling speed, indeed also my experiments with bluetooth on the Pico W (not via USB Host - I didn't manage to get PIO USB Host running alongside BLE...) showed that when I go above ~100 - 150 events per second it starts to lag. Besides throttling via software (ex. aggregating/skipping events...), one "solution" might be to use a cheaper mouse that doesn't send so many events per second - a sort of natural throttling 😄. Probably many people don't use 1000Hz mice. Speaking of many people - that also cannot solder 😁 -, would you 🙏 consider adding to the board the necessary footprint for the Clipzin connectors that would allow the Pico W to be snapped in instead of requiring soldering?
I once wanted to offer a geeky Pico-W Christmas present to some of my friends and gave up because of the soldering. I would love to order this board from here/somewhere, order the FCC-certified Pico W from somewhere else (ideally the same place) and just click them together... Again thank you for sharing this - it's the first picture I see for Pio USB Host + Pico W (something I've been searching for a loong time)... It's beautiful! |

Hi,
Long story short: a while back I had the idea to do a ~similar project, but given execution is key and given I lacked c/c++ and hardware skills... I failed 😄 - true, I learned a LOT while trying really hard to implement it.
And now I stumbled on this awesome repo - THANK you for this!
Given I saw that bluetooth is on the deskhop roadmap - and it was one of my main concerns - in the below picture I tried to adapt what I had in mind to the deskhop context - hopefully our visions match.
(1) BLE Peripheral, ex:
(2) BLE Central, ex:
So, IF we decide to attach 2 x Pico W modules on the extension board (instead of 2 x 'normal' Pico):
As a non-expert, it took me A WHILE 😅 to find all the pieces of this puzzle, I haven't yet assembled all of them (not even sure if it's possible), but if you decide to go in this direction COUNT ME IN (testing, some money etc.)!
With best regards,
Marius
