here is the code for all button mappings for Dualshock
although I am not able to configure the triggers correctly
maybe we could share effort here

    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(5) === 0x28) {
        log('x!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'x');
    }
    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(5) === 0x18) {
        log('s!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 's');
    }
    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(5) === 0x48) {
        log('o!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'o');
    }
    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(5) === 0x88) {
        log('t!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 't');
    }

    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(6) === 0x20) {
        log('options!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'options');
    }
    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(6) === 0x10) {
        log('share!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'share');
    }

    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(6) === 0x01) {
        log('L1!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'L1');
    }
    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(6) === 0x02) {
        log('R1!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'R1');
    }

    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(5) === 0x00) {
        log('up!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'up');
    }
    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(5) === 0x04) {
        log('down!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'down');
    }
    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(5) === 0x06) {
        log('left!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'left');
    }
    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(5) === 0x02) {
        log('right!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'right');
    }

    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(8) === 0xff) {
        log('L2!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'L2');
    }
    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(9) === 0xff) {
        log('R2!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'R2');
    }

    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(7) === 0x01) {
        log('home!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'home');
    }
    if(reportBuffer.readUInt8(7) === 0x02) {
        log('touchpad!');
        bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'touchpad');
    }

what kind of issue do you encounter configuring them?

ageorgios · December 19, 2023, 8:14am

The UI does not help very much, maybe it is the controller fault though,
I have this code embedded by I cannot figure the condition that should happen so the triggers are appearing on the list

have succeded sometimes to use the controller to trigger triggers, but not consistently

Andreas_Hegenberg · December 19, 2023, 8:19am

Does your input analyzer provide all the triggers so BTT can show them in the UI?

ageorgios · December 19, 2023, 8:25am

yes, have successfully triggered sometimes.
when I reconnect the controller, the list is not there for example.

Andreas_Hegenberg · December 19, 2023, 8:31am

That is very strange, the list should even show without anything connected. Does it show after restarting BTT?

ageorgios · December 19, 2023, 8:38am

no they are gone,
the only solution is to click the generic device again

Andreas_Hegenberg · December 19, 2023, 8:45am

if this happens again, can you go to help-> export diagnostic debug info and send the result to me? (andreas@folivora.ai)

ageorgios · December 19, 2023, 11:29am

sent the diagnostic info

Ageorgios,

I thought you may be interested in my version of button mappings for the DualShock. Since the controller is capable of having multiple buttons selected at once, I created a structure that allows one to determine any/all buttons that are being pressed. I also included the joystick positions and the trigger positions, though I'm not sure how I would utilize those with the current Generic Device support.

function analyzeDeviceInput(targetDevice, reportID, reportDataHex) {

    let reportBuffer = buffer.Buffer.from(reportDataHex, 'hex');
    
    // Initialize a button object to track the state of each button.
    let buttons = {};
    
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Get the integer values of the joysticks;
    // These are values from 0 to 255.
    // Note: Joystick drift could cause this script to be called a lot.
    //       If you don't intend to use it, don't enable those bytes for monitoring.
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    buttons['left_x'] = reportBuffer.readUInt8(1);
    buttons['left_y'] = reportBuffer.readUInt8(2);
    buttons['right_x'] = reportBuffer.readUInt8(3);
    buttons['right_y'] = reportBuffer.readUInt8(4);

    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Get the integer values of the L2 and R2 Triggers;
    // These are values from 0 to 255.
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    buttons['l2_value'] = reportBuffer.readUInt8(8);
    buttons['r2_value'] = reportBuffer.readUInt8(9);
    
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Interpret the Index 5 Buttons.
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
    // Get the integer value of Index 5.
    let val = reportBuffer.readUInt8(5);

    // Convert it to binary. The controller uses a bitmask to track the button states.
    let binVal = val.toString(2).padStart(8,'0');

    // Get the four right-most bits. These are for the dpad.
    let dpadVal = parseInt(binVal.substring(4,8),2)

    // Determine the state of each button.
    buttons['triangle'] = (binVal.substring(0,1) == '1');
    buttons['circle'] = (binVal.substring(1,2) == '1');
    buttons['x'] = (binVal.substring(2,3) == '1');
    buttons['square'] = (binVal.substring(3,4) == '1');
    buttons['up'] = (dpadVal == 0 || dpadVal == 1 || dpadVal == 7);
    buttons['right'] = (dpadVal == 1 || dpadVal == 2 || dpadVal == 3);
    buttons['down'] = (dpadVal == 3 || dpadVal == 4 || dpadVal == 5);
    buttons['left'] = (dpadVal == 5 || dpadVal == 6 || dpadVal == 7);

    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Interpret the Index 6 Buttons.
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
    // Get the integer value of Index 6.
    val = reportBuffer.readUInt8(6);

    // Convert it to binary. The controller uses a bitmask to track the button states.
    binVal = val.toString(2).padStart(8,'0');
 
    // Determine the state of each button.
    buttons['r3'] = (binVal.substring(0,1) == '1');
    buttons['l3'] = (binVal.substring(1,2) == '1');
    buttons['options'] = (binVal.substring(2,3) == '1');
    buttons['share'] = (binVal.substring(3,4) == '1');
    buttons['r2'] = (binVal.substring(4,5) == '1');
    buttons['l2'] = (binVal.substring(5,6) == '1');
    buttons['r1'] = (binVal.substring(6,7) == '1');
    buttons['l1'] = (binVal.substring(7,8) == '1');

    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Interpret the Index 7 Buttons.
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     
    // Get the integer value of Index 7.
    val = reportBuffer.readUInt8(7);

    // Convert it to binary. The controller uses a bitmask to track the button states.
    binVal = val.toString(2).padStart(2,'0');
    
    // Determine the state of each button.
    buttons['touchpad'] = (binVal.substring(0,1) == '1');
    buttons['home'] = (binVal.substring(1,2) == '1');
    
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Output the Button States.
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    log(JSON.stringify(buttons,null,4));

    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Determine which triggers to fire.
    // This example shows a one-to-one mapping of the buttons to the trigger calls.
    // However, it could just as easily look for combinations of buttons
    // (e.g. L2 and X held down at the same time).
    //--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    if(buttons['triangle']) bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'triangle');
    if(buttons['circle'])   bttTriggerDeviceTrigger(targetDevice, 'circle');

Super!
I have sent diagnostic information to Andreas_Hegenberg

Perhaps it's best to wait for his evaluation of the feature's worth before we consider adding more effort to it

mkozjak · August 2, 2024, 8:11am

Hey, guys, thanks for this work so far!

Regarding the drift - the Touchpad button drifts a lot, but I'd like to use it. What should I do in this case? The trigger runs like hell all the time because of the drift.
