Significant Yaw drift : calibration feature? #8

Closed cerealbowlsystem closed 2 years ago

cerealbowlsystem commented 2 years ago

My left Joycon drifts at a constant rate on the Yaw axis. I was wondering if there's a way to implement a way to compensate any drift by doing a calibration. Simply asking the user to lay their Joycons flat for a few seconds, detecting the drifts in degrees/second, and sending compensated gyro data to SlimeVR. Or simply having a manual calibration tool where users can at least input the compensation themselves.

Here's a video that demonstrates the effect (doesn't happen on the right Joycon so it's not a Wrangler issue) : https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cyWSeClkVUs

You will have to calibrate it using a Nintendo Switch. If you don't have one borrow one from a friend.
