minus-square@slimerancherOPMlinkEnglish2•10 months agoI understand, I was saying maybe the new ones will be objectively better. More reliable at cheaper price. Won’t know until we see them in use.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•10 months agoThe hall effect sensor on my 3d printer can measure 0.01mm. Does it really need to be “more accurate” than that?
minus-square@slimerancherOPMlinkEnglish0•10 months agoAhan. And the hall effect sensor on joysticks have same accuracy?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•10 months agoI mean I could edit the firmware and make it go to 4 digits, and they use the same fkn tech so yes accuracy is just as high
