Signal Processing
- Aliasing and oversampling
- Apple AirPod Pro as lame hearing aid
- DeltaWave vs Wave Corrector
- dimg - visual difference utility
- dither: noise is not always bad
- Hugin image alignment
- LED color rendering meta-analaysis
- Monotone Cubic Fits over an interval
- Neighborhood Mask Dithered Interpolation
- Niquist was not wrong but is misunderstood
- Special Error Diffusion
- TinyML: TensorFlow Lite on Arduino, STM32 and ESP32
Arduino custom STM32 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
- Visual Micro supports debugging in
- Visual Studio Community (as used e.g. for SimHub plugins)
- Visual Micro in VisualStudio Marketplace
- Discounted: options using Visual Studio Code, a confusingly named editor
- 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

Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR)
- Glossary
- 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
- added to SimHub MIDIio plugin
- Windows Joystick HID shared with SimHub
- Windows 10 vJoy installation

- Sound and VoiceMeeter, VST hosts and VST3 plugins
- Storage shortage: Dell Inspiron 13 7000 2-in-1 Windows 10 NVMe SSD
- Vim and X-Mouse
- Visual Studio Community abuse: shared installation
- Windows 10 boot from NVMe on PCIe PCs without NVMe BIOS
