Hey!

Just putting the finishing touches on my first picofly and overall the only real pia experienced in the process was the resistors on the RP2040. The resistors just didn’t like my 38awg wire being soldered to it and it was super annoying when occasionally I would desolder the other end of the resistor that was soldered to the board. Was wondering if anyone is working on or has created a flex cable for the RP2040 which has the 48ohm resistor in the flex and nice juicy pads for my wires to solder to? Or Better yet a 2040 board with resistors already attached?

Oh wow if that’s actually the case that is mad. When I look into the item on its web page it says based off of the RP 2040 but doesn’t mention anything about what is actually different. I can see what looks to be like resistors on the board but is there anywhere I can read into this chip in reguards to how people have used it for the picofly mod and if they ran into any issues?

    VR had the chance to integrate with existing games and tech but VR companies said "NO, I WANT MY SHIT TO BE STANDALONE AND MY GAMES EXCLUSIVE TO FACEBOOK"

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    The tech isn't there for affordable power enough VR headsets at a good market value yet sadly, oculus had a good idea but didn't have enough funds for marketing iirc
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But now it's "can I use my VR set with my racing games, that would be neat?" "ONLY IF YOU USE OUR DILDOSTICK CONTROLLERS AND RUN THE GAME ON OUR ANDROID-UNDERPOWERED BRICK"

  • Veho @ Veho:
    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If we're talking AAA titles a vr headset would be priced at nearly the same cost as a midrange gaming pc maybe even double
