# joycontrol
|
|
Emulate Nintendo Switch Controllers over Bluetooth.
|
|
|
|
Work in progress.
|
|
|
|
Pairing works, emulated controller shows up in the "Change Grip/Order" menu of the Switch.
|
|
|
|
Tested on Ubuntu 19.10 and with Raspberry Pi 4B Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
- Install dbus-python package
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt install python3-dbus
|
|
```
|
|
- Clone the repository and install the joycontrol package to get missing dependencies (Note: Controller script needs super user rights, so python packages must be installed as root). In the joycontrol folder run:
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo pip3 install .
|
|
```
|
|
- Disable the bluez "input" plugin, see [#8](https://github.com/mart1nro/joycontrol/issues/8)
|
|
|
|
## "Test Controller Buttons" example
|
|
- Run the script
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo python3 run_test_controller_buttons.py
|
|
```
|
|
- Open the "Change Grip/Order" menu of the Switch
|
|
- The emulated controller should pair with the Switch and automatically navigate to the "Test Controller Buttons" menu
|
|
|
|
## Issues
|
|
- When using a Raspberry Pi 4B the connection drops after some time. Might be a hardware issue, since it works fine on my laptop. Using a different bluetooth adapter may help, but haven't tested it yet.
|
|
- Incompatibility with Bluetooth "input" plugin requires a bluetooth restart, see [#8](https://github.com/mart1nro/joycontrol/issues/8)
