Re: [PATCH v2] HID: Wiimote: Treat the d-pad as an analogue stick

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The controllers from the Super Nintendo Classic Edition (AKA the SNES
Mini) appear as a Classic Controller Pro when connected to a Wii
Remote. All the buttons work as the same, with the d-pad being mapped
the same as the d-pad on the Classic Controller Pro. This differs from
the behaviour of most controllers with d-pads and no analogue sticks,
where the d-pad maps to ABS_HAT1X for left and right, and ABS_HAT1Y
for up and down. This patch adds an option to the hid-wiimote module
to make the Super Nintendo Classic Controller behave this way.

The patch has been tested with a Super Nintendo Classic Controller
plugged into a Wii Remote in both with the option both enabled and
disabled. When enabled the d-pad acts as the analogue control, and
when disabled it acts as it did before the patch was applied. This
patch has not been tested with e Wii Classic Controller (either the
original or the pro version) as I do not have one of these
controllers.

Although I have not tested it with these controllers, I think it is
likely this patch will also work with the NES Classic Edition
Controllers.

Changes from V1 to V2
* 3 if statements to control the behaviour, one to make the d-pad
register as button presses when the behaviour is disabled, and 2 to
make it act as an analog stick when enabled (once for each of the
motion plus states)
* the values for lx and ly are calculated and then passed to
input_report_abs() in one place, rather then calling
input_report_abs() from different places depending on how the values
are determined.
* using an array to map from button presses to analog value.
* reduced the values used to indicate the position of the analog stick
so they can fit inside a __s8
