1000hz Polling Guide for HORI Taiko Drum Controller
14This is my guide for getting 1000hz polling for your HORI Taiko no Tatsujin Drum Controller.
Compatible with PC and Nintendo Switch.
This is done by replacing the stock internal board with a Raspberry Pi Pico. This video guide shows how I did it.
Tools needed:
Raspberry Pi Pico (with Pre-soldered Headers),
Long braided Micro USB to USB A cable,
Screwdriver (J1 for Drum, J0 for stock internal board),
Jumper wires (Male to Female),
Hobby Knife,
Hot Glue,
Double sided tape.
