Sagtmal gibts eigentlich irgendwas womit man nen Laptop der noch kein Thunderbolt kann an nen Thunderbolt 4 Dock anstecken kann? 🤔

Also, gibt ja so Docks mit Logilink Treiber Requirement, die gehen an meinem Laptop auch per USB-A.
Da läuft ja dann die Bildverarbeitung in diesem Dock irgendwie proprietär.
Im prinzip sowas, dass dann auf USB-C Thunderbolt konvertiert, um ein bestehendes Dock zu verwenden

A Gameport Joystick to USB-MIDI Converter

These days, live music performance often involves electronic synthesizers and computers rather than traditional instruments played by hand. To aid in his own performances, [alekappa] built a special interface to take signals from a joystick and convert them to MIDI messages carried over USB.

The build is simple and straightforward, using a Teensy LC to interface with a simple gameport joystick. With a smattering of simple components, it's easy to read the outputs of the joystick with only a little debounce code needed to ensure the joystick's buttons are read accurately. Similarly, analog axes are read using the analog-to-digital converters onboard the microcontroller.

This data is then converted into control changes, note triggers and velocity levels and sent out over the Teensy LC's USB interface. A mode switch enables changes to the system's behaviour to be quickly made. The device is wrapped up in a convenient housing nabbed from an old Gameport-to-USB converter from many years ago.

It's a neat project and we're sure the joystick allows [alekappa] to add a new dimension to his performances on stage. We've seen other great MIDI controllers, too, from the knitted keyboard to the impressive Harmonicade. If you've got your own mad musical build under construction, don't hesitate to drop us a line!
