Robotics developers, startups, and resalers furiously shopping for new HID peripherals
(programming.dev)
That Logitech joystick model was a staple HID (Human Interface Device) and wireless peripheral for many robotics researchers and corporations. Pairing and range was better than any 2010's Bluetooth, and more compatible than OEM or hobby grade RF controllers. So many ROS projects used those. If both Xbox and PS DualShock controllers get cought amidst similar public ridicule, then we'll have nothing left! ๐ฎ๐
Yeah but from a safety point of view you don't want wireless stuff around something critical like controlling your submersible
Honestly, I wasn't aware it was wireless. I wonder if there was a backup system. There has to have been a normal computer interface, at least, so you could check gauges and so on.
Although, if it randomly collapses on you at the speed of sound control is a moot point.
The entire thing wasn't well though, this was just one more joke
Truly, a Fyre-festival level of wealth-fueled stupidity.
