One bored Redditor decided to make their mo♚use provide realistic recoil whenever they use it to play a first-person shooter game.
Most of us are fairly content to just play games while we’re waiting for the coronavirus lockdown to end, but some of us have this insatiable drive to create. Those players are usually the ones making 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:ludicrously 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:elaborate islands in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Animal Crossing, bu🐟t a few of those players are electrical engineers. They’re a wacky bunch.
For example, this electrical engiꦜneer rigged their mouse up with half a dozen solenoids and then wrote some python code to simul🌼ate the recoil you’d experience when firing a machine gun.
Teenenggr e﷽xplains how the whole system works on their . Step one is to rig your favorite gaming mouse with a bunch of electric vibration motors (also known as solenoids) to make the mouse vibrate rhythmically. Next, write some Python code that reads “mouse events” and sends that information to Arduino, an open-source platform that facilitates communication between PCs and electronic gizmos.
🃏Arduino then sends the info received from the PC to the mouse and its arsenal of solenoids. Then whenever you pull the trigge🔴r, the mouse recoils with each bullet.
If you want to recreate Teenenggr’s setup in your own home, they’ve made all the code and schematics available online.♚ You’ll of course need to have some technical knowhow to get it all set up, and you’ll need some hardware that you should be able to order online easily enough.
As several Redditors , this isn’t even the first time someone has tried to get some force feedback on a mouse. Logitech tried this way back when with the iFeel mouse. Essentially a mouse loaded with the same motors as found in a modern console controller, the iFeel would vibrate whenever the player performed certain act𝕴ions in-game. It screwed up your aim, and few games actually suppor꧟ted it, so the iFeel was discontinued and never replaced.
And yet, people still want rumble controllers on conso🐈les. Funny, t💙hat.
