Just an Inquiry. #5

I don't intend to buy a switch. But if I just buy joy-cons from amazon, will they work with your lib.? And how can I charge them if bought without switch? Will I have to install any drivers or can I use them directly in unity with your lib. And should I get grey or neon ones.

In their Nintendo Labo Demo they show IR tracking, but I didn't see IR implemented in your lib code. Do you plan to implement IR too,

I have wiimotes and razer hydra but I am also interested in joycons . So I need your advice if I should buy joycons?

My main aim is to use them as pointers and the HD Rumble for personal projects.

Works fine without switch, no drivers needed, color doesn't matter. I haven't tested with more than one Joy-Con connected at once. IR is not implemented but it could be - I have just been dropping in stuff from here. https://github.com/dekuNukem/Nintendo_Switch_Reverse_Engineering You can probably do pointer stuff ok with just orientation data. See the gif in readme.md.

  1. Please test more than one joycons, preferably four, and see if they work alright. I need for single screen co-op 2-4 players.
  2. Please check if IR data is available, and can be implemented.
  3. I have seen the gif, and would like to know how stable it is.
  4. Can I recharge the Joycons via USB?

You can purchase one of these to recharge Joy-Cons. https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Charging-KINGTOP-Individual-indication/dp/B073ZD8CFY/

I may implement IR data collection at some point but I have no idea how much effort it will take to implement. Same with reliable performance for multiple Joy-Cons. This repository was made for a work project and I haven't updated it for a while. No guarantees I will have time to work on it in the immediate future. I'm also traveling and don't have access to all my Joy-Cons.

Thanks. I will defer the purchase for now. I will wait till release of Nintendo Labo and see if suits my needs. Maybe by then you will implement and test, multiple controllers and IR too ( I did not find IR Info on deku).

And Thanks for your efforts and making this library public. I will check here time and again. Thanks.
