Feature Request for adding second joystick #1

Open TimGreerNZ opened 1 year ago

TimGreerNZ commented 1 year ago

Hi, just wondering if you had advice on adding a second joystick to this code. I'm assuming that I could just copy all the JS0 pieces and add a JS1 in the copied sections and adjust the ASD1115 address to scan the A2 and A3 input for second joystick. I will have both joystick modules on the one ASD1115 module for ease of wiring. Any advice on this would be appreciated.

I believe I have coded in a second joystick, but I'm not 100% sure ai have it correct. I added extra buttons for js1 and just used 09876 included 6 as the second joystick button. Would you consider checking my code for me. I could just run it and see if it works I guess. Once I confirm its working I'm.happy to do a pull request incase you want it to add to the collection.

Thank you! Scanning the other analog inputs is right and should work fine. Yes test or share it and then i can test it too!

Ahi, no worries I love a challenge, I have mapped a couple of extra GPIO pins 1 each for Left and Right Trigger Buttons and one for js1 button. I should have it all finished up tomorrow and will try and remember how to get it in github and set it as a pull request to you. I basically copied what you had, adjusted the ads1115 channels for pins 2 and 3 and defined a few extra buttons in uinput for the extra stuff. I have never coded in python before so it was a steep learning curve lol. But I read over what you had a few times and got the basis of what it does. I am currently sitting here reading over it again to make sure I havnt missed anything. :)

Have managed to fork a branch and add the file I sent it to you via a pull request for you to check over. Hope I got it right. IM also testing it as we speak.

I think part of the ADC1115 code is going to need a rewrite because Adafruit have archived the code and switched everything over to circuit python so I cant download the original ADS1x15 library anymore. Im currently working on getting everything to behave with circuit python and the new ADS1x15 Library. Will flick a new Pull request once its sorted.
