Emulate Nintendo Switch Controllers over Bluetooth.
Work in progress.
Pairing works, emulated controller shows up in the "Change Grip/Order" menu of the Switch.
Tested on Ubuntu 19.10 and with Raspberry Pi 4B Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)
- Install dbus-python package
sudo apt install python3-dbus
- Clone the repository and install the joycontrol package to get missing dependencies (Note: Controller script needs super user rights, so python packages must be installed as root). In the joycontrol folder run:
sudo pip3 install .
- Run the script
sudo python3 run_test_controller_buttons.py
- Open the "Change Grip/Order" menu of the Switch
- The emulated controller should pair with the Switch and automatically navigate to the "Test Controller Buttons" menu
- When using a Raspberry Pi 4B the connection drops after some time. Might be a hardware issue, since it works fine on my laptop. Using a different bluetooth adapter may help, but haven't tested it yet.
