I turned this touchscreen RP2040 into a touchpad.
  • Regarding the scrolling, do you reckon it'll be possible to implement it like how the Galaxy Watches do their scrolling?

    If you touch the edge of the screen and rotate it, it scrolls clockwise and anti-clockwise. Works decently enough although I do prefer the physical wheel.

  • How do you read books you don't want to?

    How do you guys read books that you don't feel like reading?

    I consider myself a decent reader. If I'm very interested in a book, I'm able to stay up all night, reading it as much as I can until I feel like if I read anymore I'll get fired for sleeping on the job. I love to read fantasy books, but usually most interesting fiction books are able to keep my attention.

    The trouble I've got is with non-fiction books. Books that are talked about as "must reads". Books like Sapiens, The Selfish Gene, Pale Blue Dot, or any textbook/technical documentation. I've tried again and again to read non-fiction books. Breaking it up into smaller chunks, listening to them as audiobooks, or just slogging through it page by page. But nothing seems to stick in my head if I grind through them.

    Now, before you go "Hey naznsan, just don't! Life is too short to read books you don't want to read!", the thing is, I want to read these books. Some of them explain things I'm decently interested in. Some of them I have to read for work/education. I just seem to have trouble either focusing, staying motivated, or retaining any information in such books.

    So does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how I could read such non-fiction books like I read my fiction? Or am I doomed to just slog through page by page, relying on my notes to do all the remembering?

    flow-MX36 released!
  • Sorry I might not be understanding this correctly, but does that mean the choc version will have proper choc spacing and be 2mm closer? And a properly located trackpad on top of that?

    That is exactly what I've been waiting for. I printed the case for a MX Skeletyl but found the spacing a bit too far, and the choc skeletyl that I printed felt a bit off for some reason.
