Signal Processing
- Aliasing and oversampling
- DeltaWave vs Wave Corrector
- dimg - visual difference utility
- Hugin image alignment
- Special Error Diffusion
- Neighborhood Mask Dithered Interpolation
- Harry Niquist was not wrong but is misunderstood
- dither: noise is not always bad
- TinyML: TensorFlow Lite on Arduino, STM32 and ESP32
- LED color rendering meta-analaysis
- Apple AirPod Pro as lame hearing aid
Arduino custom USB sketches
- e.g. for harness tensioning servos
- ESP8266 WeMos D1 UNO R1 (background) is a COM device
- COM ports work from SimHub, but most sim games expect DirectInput
- SimHub directly supports real Arduinos,
but can drive any COM port by SimHub Custom Serial devices
Some ESP32 / STM32 may appear as Arduino USB COM ports
- SimHub directly supports real Arduinos,
- Arduino IDE Alternatives
- There are many.
- Visual Micro supports debugging in Visual Studio
(which I use e.g. for SimHub plugins)- in VisualStudio Marketplace
- reviewed
- Options using Visual Studio Code, a confusingly named editor,
are discounted; I prefer GVim
- Arduino Command Line Interface (Arduino-cli)
- interesting, because configuration file options per folder or root folder
- STM32 Black Pill for more capable custom USB Arduino devices
- ESP32-S[2-3] for composite USB and wireless Arduino devices

Sim driving
- Logitech G29 pedal mods
- STM32 - programmable USB dongle can be configured as HID gamepad
- ESP8266 - CH340 USB chip can appear only as a COM port to Windows
- analog pedals plugged into SimXperience AccuForce controller
- ShakeSeat
- SimHub USB-attached PWM PC fans
- TH8A Thrustmaster shifter mods
- wheels for GT racing in VR
SimHub sim driving telemetry processing
- Bass Shaker Profiles for pedals and ShakeSeat
- Custom serial profiles e.g. for harness tensioning
- Plugins
- Fake8 properties and 8-bit serial data for Custom serial profiles
- JSONio for per-car properties e.g. in ShakeIt Bass Shaker Profiles
- MIDIio including vJoy and Direct Input controllers
- OxyPlot XY scatter plot plot one SimHub property vs another
- XtraMouse use a second mouse to directly control SimHub properties, e.g. for MIDIio
Somnium VR1 - premium PC XR headset
Two Factor Authentication - iOS and 2FAS
Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR)
- OpenVR vs OpenXR
- Samsung Odyssey+ and HP Reverb for Assetto Corsa
using SteamVR and Windows Mixed Reality (WMR) - Virtual desktops, Immersed and
vergence-accommodation conflict.
Immersed has one of the better known remote collaboration software apps,
and has opted, along with e.g. Somnium, to develop their own XR headset.
While Immersed software seems more practical,
their headset seems less credible than the Somnium VR1.
vJoy C# SDK
