Hello all

Hi, I just ordered a teensy from GIMX store, and will 3d print a adaptor case from thingiverse or similar and I thought I'd better say hello.
I have a bit of a nostalgia console collecting habit, so what I'm trying to do is get as few peripherals to serve as many consoles as possible.
I just bought a G27 Logitech, because I have PS3/PS4, and I read maybe one day GIMX can cover the Xbox one/ 360 also. That would be great if it happens because one wheel can serve those 4 targets. For now a microsoft 360 wireless wheel with a 360 wireless->pc dongle and a brook 360->one adaptor covers the MS targets, but its not as nice feeling + a pain changing wheels. There's another project to run 360 peripherals on a Xbox original too I'm looking at, so maybe I can combine in future.
I researched the DriveHub but GIMX seems more open to tweaking and has "possibilities" + I've tinkered with linux and arduino/atmel things for a few years now so I'd rather support it.
I plan to first run GIMX on a Devuan linux server thats running 24/7 & close by to where my consoles sit running on a old atom net top pc, and feed its output into a 2 to 4 targets USB switcher so I can push a physical button to switch the console target to each console (I only play one at a time). Maybe when I'm more familiar I can get it to run on a beaglebone black running debian instead of a Pi as I much prefer them over Pi's (personal choice...)
So, er, Hi/Bjr
A+
