Hey,
I fear I bricked my Reyann zero delay encoder. It doesn't show anymore in the windows control devices and the 2 leds stay on. What do you think?

Hard to tell but those things are like $7 so I would just buy another and if that doesn't work then you know you have another issue. Well, actually I'd buy an iPac2 and not deal with cheap parts but I do own a couple of them and they work fine so I don't know.
-
How did you brick it?
-
Do other controllers still show? If not you got other issues. If so just buy a new one. I'll cashapp you $7 lol
-
Two things to try if possible, 1 - plug into another computer, see if outcome is different.
2- Try with a different USB cable. Printers usually use that style USB.
And if you bought it recently, don't hesitate to do a return, especially if you got it from Amazon.

Thanks everyone. I'm sure I did a short and it didn't like it. It's still alive but it seems the firmware has been wiped. I will follow your advice and get another one.

Maybe pick up something decent this time.

Yeah, get a better one...Like an iPac. Screw those damn encoders. Want a free one? I probably have 4 or 5 of them in a junk box somewhere.

Nobody QC’s them anymore. They are a good little board, but one thing to realize is they are made by a guy in China who recruits everyone from his Grammy to kids to solder them. They are designed to be minimal cost, and those Jsf connectors are more built for RC than anything. They are also designed for a Chinese audience, which mostly uses them for fight sticks. Red China never caught pac man fever. That means instead of maximizing on buttons and possibly getting them as 2p boards, they have a stupid hat switch and no flexibility with the cable options. Getting QDs that fit a cherry switch was already a hurdle to bringing them to the US.

They're junk and they don't even measure that well. You get 2-3 entire frames of delay when using one. When you have options today like the DaemonBite that give you sub 1-millisecond latency for not a lot more I'm not sure why you'd choose one of these.

For my needs it was a perfect price. I have an Ipac UIO in my first cabinet but for just the 5 buttons of a VR panel in my racecab it seemed enough. I changed my mind and will use an arduino atmega 32u4 instead. I will flash it to be recognised like an xinput Xbox 360 joypad. I did it for my first cabinet and works perfectly.

Not if it is an original, and to be honest I have no clue what is original anymore. Those Reyann ones seem to be knock offs, but when I was importing them, I put them through laps on latency tests. They were equivalent to your typical USB game pad. I tested at least a dozen of them.

I will take them..can pay shipping too pm me

I just ordered some of the pro micro atmega 32u4's to program as an encoder.
Sparkfun has some programming guides.
https://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/337
and there is a project called MMjoy that lets you program it as an ecoder also.

i'm mostly interested in using one of these for an arcade trackball because they are 5v devices you can use to feed the trackball's optics.
