Adding a vibration motor - iron_swan - 07-28-2019
Hello all!
I was digging through the retroarch menu, and I can across an option for vibration feedback support. Has anyone investigated adding a vibration motor or 2 to their build? Is this feasible? If so how would one go about doing that?
Thanks!

At its current state, the GPIO driver doesn't have feedback support, If someone know how it work on driver level, that could be cool
On the hardware level, it is pretty easy, you need a GPIO input, a resistor and a NPN transistor.
I use this to control the fan in one of my build:
1x MMBT2222A SOT23
1x 1206 470ohm resistor, this value can be increase but I don't know the right calculation for this

I missed to ask, what kind of motor do you want to use, any particular model?
