ALT.CTRL.GameCraft went well last Sat, we got some play-testing & a couple of demos of WIP #AlternativeControllers.

It was great that we had some folks diving straight into the code, while others started designing & crafting their custom controllers. 🥰

I did a short writeup: https://dev.to/whykay/altctrlgamecraft-workshop-beta-festival-write-up-19p

I hope I get to see more WIP #ALTCTRL projects.

I hope to run something similar late 2024, any1 interested?

This weekend @micktwomey & I are soldering & testing buttons and headers on our custom PCBs & getting the kits ready for the #FREE ALT.CTRL.GameCraft #workshop at #BetaFestival (Sat Nov 4).

They will be connected to a #RaspberryPiPico, and we will also provide craft materials like cardboard, glue, etc. for folks to make their #AlternativeControllers.

More info: https://www.gamecraft.it/events/altctrljam-2023/

No experience or coding required to participate. Note: This event is for 18+.

@micktwomey rigged up something to test the buttons to make sure they are soldered ok before we pack them up for folks to make their own #AlternativeControllers at our ALT.CTRL.GameCraft workshop as part of Beta Festival on Sat Nov 4.
