Release v1.4.1 Configurator Firmware Changes: Added dynamic deadband Added sequential buttons (several logic buttons mapped to same physical and pressed sequentially) Influence of microcontroller periphery to ADC conversion reduced (especially if TLE sensors are used) Improved timings for shift registers More flexible filters (7 levels of filtration) Angle setting for axis offset (step 15 degrees) 3 PWM pins for LED lightning Up to 24 LEDs mappable to logical buttons states Optimization for small wide displays Device name is set to config name while saving by default Indication of pins/buttons config errors This version should improve ADC results (especially if TLE sensors are used in configuration). Dynamic deadband detects movements of axis and holds axis output if no movement is detected. Hold threshold is configurable. 3 PWM channels allow you to make configurable RGB lightning. Connection LEDs through transistors is recommended for lightning.

In case of good PCB layout there is a very small chance you will need filtering level more than LOW. My observations is that HIGH level completely remove bouncing of cheap chinese potentiometers connected to bluepill board, but yes - you can feel the input lag a little. Input lag at MEDIUM level is nearly unnoticable. Keep in mind that transient response test show you 0.2s lag for immediate fullscale change at input - in real cases it is much softer. Best advice I can give you - just try it :) Now I am working at v1.3.5, it will contain 7 levels of filtration and dynamic deadband. I already implemented test version of it and it works pretty well. I also ordered MCP320x parts from China to make comparison with internal ADCs and maybe add their support to the firmware. But shipping may take a long time for some reasons...

Didnt know about this thread =) Now FreeJoy project is moved to orgranisation page: https://github.com/FreeJoy-Team I released new version v1.3.4 yesterday, main features are dynamic HID config and PID changing option. Please check for more information at release page.

Yes, it can

Maximum number of encoders was reduced to 16 in latest release 1.3.3 to optimize overall performance. You can use 8 encoders as axes (8 is maximum number of axes that system can see), or you can use all encoders as two buttons (increment and decrement)
