This is a small project I’m working on for the gbscontrol. It functions as a remote to change saved profiles via wifi using a Raspberry Pi Pico W. With the addition of filters to the analogue pocket dock, I wanted to be able to quickly change presets without having to launch the web UI. When its ready, it will be fully open sourced.

What’s working well:

  1. Using the webui to configure gbscontrol hostname and adding wifi credentials.
  2. Loading profiles and scrolling via the joystick and buttons.
  3. Refreshing profiles via joystick press.
  4. Help messages when it can’t connect to wifi or load options from gbscontrol

What needs improvement:

  1. More status indicators on the screen. It can appear frozen when it’s working.
  2. Make UI more mobile friendly.
  3. Clean up the code base, I don’t use python very often and it shows.
  4. 3D printed enclosure, guess I finally have to go beyond tinkercad.

      It is and its from laserbear. I actually think the pocket dock looks better on this little display vs a larger monitor. The downside is you have to use a scaler to get a proper image from the dock (in this case 480p HDMI -> component -> gbscontrol -> display).
