Will I have problems if I connect 4 of them?

[vitinhosessa]

Hi, I am planning to assemble 12 pedals with 4 Raspberry Pi Pico, with 3 pedals on each. The 4 connected to a usb 3.0 hub and plug into a usb 3.2 port.

Will I have problems with the software since I will be simulating 4 stream deck pedals?

Sorry for asking such a specific question, I am planning to make this as a gift for a friend who had a stroke.

This is the pedal I will use to make it easier and without having to model in 3D.

Or if there is a possibility to put 6 pedals on 1 Raspberry Pi Pico and simulate 2 Stream Deck Pedal.

Or even all 12 pedals 🤣🤣. It would be perfect ✨

I haven't tried my self but you'll have to update each one to use a different serial number and that might work.

picodeck/src/main.c

Line 165 in b79d2be

uint8_t serial[15] = {0x0C, 0x5A, 0x5A, 0x5A, 0x5A, 0x5A, 0x5A, 0x5A, 0x5A, 0x5A, 0x5A, 0x5A, 0x5A, 0x00, 0x00};

Thank you very much for your reply. I will try to change their serial.

I already bought the parts on aliexpress, I'm just waiting to arrive. I'll come back here to inform if it worked or not.

@vitinhosessa How did it go? If you haven't attempted yet, I could attempt to flash my second Pi this week?

[vitinhosessa]

Unfortunately the parts have not arrived yet 😢

Feel free if you want to test it out, it will be wonderful. As soon as I get my parts I will return to post here so we know if it works right.

@NovaScotianNorse you can make up random serials. IIRC I tested this and got positive results, but forgot to post back.

Can't 100% recall though.

Have you ended up trying to do more than 3 pedals per raspberry pi>?

@gitagogaming I suspect it's possible, but not without significant code changes and testing.
