is there a way to make the gyrscope always active?

[Shieriker]

i need like a toggle instead of a switch so the gyroscope can be always active for the mouse movement

Hi, "toggle mode" is a bit complex to implement, there is no way to toggle mode right now. But if what you need is an always activated gyro mode, you can use a gyro mode as the default mode. In the config file, the first mode is the default mode, replace it with a [gyro] mode like:

[[Mode]]
Mode = '[gyro] -id MouseMode'    <-------------------- use [gyro] as the first(default) mode
Rules = [
  '[trigger] gyro -> [cursor] -speed 0.03',
  ...
]

.. other modes

i saw that in the documentation, but when i tired that method i get the panic message and it closes

[Shieriker]

i just tried that method with the speech mode and it worked, is only when i put the gyro at the first mode on the list when it closes automatically

@Shieriker Can you launch it with terminal, and paste the panic message here?

I see why it crashes, entering gyro mode is supposed to be triggered by an input event, like a button press, so I can activate the gyro on that particular side. But when it's used as default mode, there is no input yet, which causes the crash:

func (g *GyroMode) OnEnter(in *Input) error {
    go in.Jc.EnableGyro(true)   <-------- in is nil
    return g.Mode.OnEnter(in)
}

There is no simple way to solve this, but I got some new idea:

1. There is actually an REPL shell, try the command "gyro" in the terminal, it should toggle the gyro mode for all connected joycons, type "gyro" again to disable it.
2. Use an elastic string, wrap around the joycon, keep a button pressed down :)

it worked, ty
