The always reliable Damien McFerran from Time Extension reports that Retro-Bit is set to release the Saturn Pro controller, a sequel of sorts to the original Sega Saturn joypad. That pad was absolutely fantastic for 2D games of all stripes, and especially versus fighting games, but the Saturn Pro pad adds two (tiny) analog...
I'm going to have a bit of a #tech#rant (less charitable people might say #whine) here. If you just want jokes and cute bunny pictures, feel free to skip this one.
Object of my #ire this week? #Furnaces. I'm not even going to rant about their main control boards; most of that's been said better than I could say it, by others with more knowledge than I.
How does it #sense the #speed the motor is turning at? The motor only has 3 terminals, and those go to the points between the three motor #windings. There isn't another #signal coming out of the motor to tell the #controller how fast it's actually turning.
Except...
Apparently, while driving those three motor windings, it is #simultaneously sensing the back-#EMF that the windings (which are essentially #electromagnetic#coils) produce from those same terminals.

My shiny new purple controller has arrived! I got it because purple is the color of my man & Los Iluminados. It even matches Osmund’s outfit with purple on top and black underneath! Gonna play Resident Evil 4 Remake in true Saddler style from now on! 💜🥰#PS5#Controller#LosIluminados#Gaming#ShareYourGames
:boost: Ich finde den Playstation 5 Controller ja mega geil mit den Funktionen. Aber in der Hand habe ich immer das Gefühl, dass er von der Qualität eher minderwertig ist. Fühlt sich an wie billiges Plastik.
Irgendwie gefällt mir der Switch Pro Controller besser, fühlt sich auch hochwertiger an. Ich glaube das ist auch mein Lieblingscontroller 🤔
Welcher Controller der drei großen Hersteller gefällt euch am besten?
