This is fantastic work! It has saved me and my friends a significant amount of time. I have a suggestion, if you don't mind: in the joystick range calibration, would it be possible to increase the maximum range by about 10%? This would make the circular motion of the joystick slightly larger, helping to avoid incomplete coverage of the joystick range. Thanks again for your work and sharing!

I believe the range is limited on purpose, to achieve circularity, which is a good thing.

I apologize for any confusion. What I meant is that if the joystick is moved and rotated with a bit of force during the calibration process, it can result in an incomplete coverage of the joystick's circular test after calibration. It would be more convenient if the calibration values could be adjusted slightly to eliminate the impact of this force. Thank you for your response.

@leonxis The DS4 firmware is in charge of sampling the analogs and perform calibration; the python script just ask the DS4 to perform it. You can turn multiple times the analogs to ensure there is a full coverage.

Thanks for the explanation. I understand the workings and the issues now
