Not All Projects Work Out - Lemmy.World

This was my attempt to create a a SNES to Bluetooth adapter. It works but the average latency was 18.35ms, which I think is too much to be considered a good controller.

If anyone else was wondering, I found this neat data table of controller latencies to compare:

It looks like 18.35ms is not really among the best, but there are still lots of products in that range.

I dunno if I’d say your project didn’t work out… Maybe more like you succeeded but still have work to do. Do you think you’ll try swapping the Bluetooth for a 2.4Ghz module or something and see if that performs better?

I use an 8bitdo sn30 pro. Apparently I haven’t been using a good controller. Fooled me!
I’ve had a lot of connection issues with that model
How so? It disconnects? Or won’t connect to start?
Both, and I was literally right next to my phone
What phone do you have?
Samsung A53

Hmm I was thinking maybe an old phone but that’s not that old.

Try charging while connecting. I’ve found that a low battery often seems like poor connection quality. The way it gives up when it can’t connect is very similar to just the battery dying.
