A game talks to a virtual controller as it would to a real one, and the system
keeps what it asked for. scePadVirtualDeviceGetRemoteSetting reads it back in
the layout of a DualShock 4's output report: the two motors at [3] and [4], the
light bar at [5..7]. The layout was read on the console while games rumbled and
users signed in, and feedback.c is tested against those exact buffers.
The service reads it every 16 ms for each controller; games pulse rumble for
only tens of milliseconds, which a 100 ms poll missed.
- Rumble goes to the controller's owner as {"method":"v","params":[pad,large,
small]}, once per change, and to whoever takes a controller over, so a page
never keeps buzzing on old news. The page already drove an Android phone's
vibration and a gamepad's actuators from it.
- The light bar goes into the status everyone sees. The PS4 sets player colours
at a quarter strength, so the colour is brightened to full, keeping its hue;
an unlit bar keeps the controller's own colour.
- Without the call, controllers work as before and it is logged once.
Also: the page says "Choose user on PS4", not "on TV", since not everyone plays
on a TV. The test stub takes C4F-TEST-FEEDBACK lines to set what the "game"
wants, and the test client can wait for messages the service pushes.
- README: what Control4Free is and why it reaches menus and sign-in, features,
a quick start, screenshots, requirements, limitations, credits.
- docs/: installation, playing, troubleshooting (every message the page and the
app can show), how it works, and the WebSocket protocol.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: building, testing, code style, releasing.
- Screenshots of the page on phones and a PC and of the app, made against the
real service built for the host, at the example address 192.168.1.20.
- Issue forms, a contact list pointing at the guides and private security
reporting, and FUNDING.yml.
- CHANGELOG.md dated. CI now publishes this version's section of it as the
release notes rather than the whole file.
- THIRD_PARTY.md: the DualShock 4 diagram the buttons are drawn after (CC BY
3.0), and Apollo Save Tool for the package settings.
- Page: the Vibration setting no longer promises to buzz when a game rumbles,
which 1.0.0 cannot do yet.
