arduino-pico VS GP2040

I managed to get the Arduino IDE to work great with my Pi Pico's using earlephilhower/arduino-pico and TinyUSB in the USB stack. I can code for MIDi and do all kinds of neat stuff... But...

I am trying to build a data logger. Currently my hardware is a Raspberry Pi Pico W, a SHT41 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5776), and a small breadboard. Software is Arduino IDE, arduino-pico (https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico), and Adafruit_SHT4X library (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_SHT4X).

The standard Pico w SDK has examples for Bluetooth classic, serial connection, mouse control, keyboard control etc... Everything you need can be found HERE

If you want more guidance, you could use the Arduino framework https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico

If you are using the earlephilhower implementation of the Arduino Core for Pico, wifi is documented here: wifi docs

rp2040 is really powerful its not a conventional "desktop" raspberry pi, its a microcontroller similar to stm32 or the avr boards that the arduino uses. https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico for arduino support.

Do you want to do serial communications along with USB HID (keyboard)? Sure, you can do that with TinyUSB. I've done it with the arduino-pico core: https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-pico

I think they use https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040

I've had a great experience with Arduino Pro Micro's running the DaemonBite firmware, and the RPi Pico GP2040 firmware should be similarly great. Both have extremely low latency. The Brook Universal board is another good one. Other than that, I usually just use either a DualShock 3 pad over USB or a wired 360 pad. I also like the iBuffalo SNES pad and Logitech Precision pads.

My third revision of this and looking for feedback to improve. I'm using an secondary USB-C port here to test this schematic before using it on other builds where the Pico placement is constrained by board clearances and mounting holes. The Pico is running GP2040, https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040, which allows the device to work on multiple systems. I'm new to PCB design and have grabbed some examples posted here before and hopefully following guidelines in the wiki.

It might also be worth checking out the pi pico as the brains, though I believe you need a second piece of hardware to make it work on ps4. The pi pico itself should only be 10$~ not sure how much the ps4 adapter thing would cost. The firmware to look into is https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040

Hi, does anyone know how to add a PS Home button to your controller? I have a DURAL hitbox which uses GP2040 Firmware (https://github.com/FeralAI/GP2040). I was planning on going to an offline event and needed to make my controller PS4 proof for which I was hoping to use a PS3 to PS4 adapter. However I would still need the PS Home button because PS4 is weird. If anyone knows a solution help would be greatly appreciated.

Microsoft totally does. That's why GP2040, an open source controller firmware, doesn't support Xbox or PS. The way it's typically done now is to have a require a real controller to handle the authentication, with the 3rd party input in between the real controller and the console (passthrough in that chart)
