Request - Add readout of Pro Controller stick and trigger values

[dotdissent]

What it says on the tin. Would like to easily test Pro Controller sticks and triggers and just being able to see the value readout of them would be perfect.

I will work on it later today 😃

Sorry for the wait but it looks like the current library I use for input vpad.h doesn't support the pro controller and only the gamepad. I am currently looking and asking around for a library I can switch to that supports it all. I have updated the app with a few changes but it might take a bit longer to fix this.

Again, sorry for the wait :D

No worries, I appreciate the effort!! :)

Suddenly recalled today that the triggers aren't analog 😂 So yeah, just looking for the X/Y values of the sticks. Or, even better, a visualizer if that sounds easy/fun to do. Lmk if you have a donation link and I'll send what I can your way 😊

[TheHighTide]

I will definitely work on it. Just wondering, does the app work with the pro controller at all or just gamepad?
Also here's a donation link: 😄

I have found a library that supports the Wii controllers and WiiU controllers (not gamepad) and am starting to work on the update now. Expect the patch in 2 to 20 hours. :D

[TheHighTide]

Gosh I know this is probably frustrating but after going in a back and forth with another developer I learned that the library that I just spent 2ish hours implementing only supports Wii controllers and the Wii pro controller. I'm very sorry but until I can learn how to use another library it just won't be possible for me. I know what library I need to learn but its 12:15am right now and I'm tired lol. Sorry for the delay and I promise it will be done eventually. 😄

[dotdissent]

All good, I'm not worried about speed, sorry it's been a weird one to figure out!

I have got the pro controller working in the app now. Just one question before I start coding the features. You wanted a readout of the X/Y values of each joystick?

[dotdissent]

Correct! That way I can check for bad potentiometers in my sticks, the values become erratic when they're physically degraded.

I am now pushing the update! There is now advanced mode and basic mode. Advanced mode can be accessed by pressing ZL+ZR+A on the pro controller or gamepad. This will show X/Y values for both joysticks on both controllers. If you are in basic mode (default) it will only show text for the direction if the x/y value is greater than 0.5. Thanks for giving me this challenge and I will keep this issue open for 1 day as a sort of buffer period incase any more issues with this feature arise. If you have any questions about using the program or need more info, you can contact my discord with the username higgytiggy.

Once again, thank you!

Note:
It can take up to 1-2 days for the update to appear on the homebrew store because they are slow😃

[dotdissent]

Thanks for this! Been super busy and finally got time to test it, found that the Pro Controller A and B buttons are reading swapped which also means you need to use ZL+ZR+B to enter Advanced mode.
