DriveKeys v3 (aka: Bluetooth Keyboard Wheelchair Joystick Platform)

I’m thrilled to announce the latest update to DriveKeys—version 2! This upgraded version includes:

• Two 5-direction micro joysticks for more precise and customizable input.
• An ESP32 Feather v2 (USB-C edition) with Bluetooth capabilities.
• A tiny LCD screen, battery monitor, magnetic charge cable, and a robust 10Ah battery pack.

These new features make DriveKeys better in every way:

• The micro joysticks give Mike greater independence with more sensitive and configurable input options.
• The LCD screen could display vital battery life and charging status… but instead, we spent our development time programming it to play the "Best of The Simpsons: 3 hours of season 1" pirated clip from YouTube (don’t try this at home!).
• The battery monitor would help ensure the device is always ready… but for now, it simply amplifies the joy of replaying the happiest Simpsons moments on demand.
• The magnetic charge cable and 10Ah battery pack make DriveKeys more durable and convenient—allowing Mike to drive away from his desk with reckless abandon, without the risk of destroying hours of my hard work (again).

This update represents my commitment to creating accessible, life-enhancing solutions. With DriveKeys v2, Mike’s quality of life has already improved, and we’re exploring even more exciting possibilities like precise analog inputs and other body movement-based controls.
