Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

node-ds4

Stream events from DualShock 4 controllers. Works for Bluetooth & USB.

Supports:

  • Left & right analog stick
  • D-pad: up, down, left, right (also intermediate positions)
  • Buttons: x, circle, square, triangle, share, options, (DS4) trackpad button
  • Left & right analog triggers
  • (DS4) 2 touches on the trackpad (X, Y, active, ID) & trackpad button
  • Gryoscope (absolute orientation) & accelerometer (relative movement)
  • Activating motors
  • Changing LED color
  • Battery status

Compared to the DS3 the DS4 dropped most pressure sensitive buttons. Only L2 and R2 are still also analog. PEW PEW! I guess someone had to make room for the trackpad...

TODO:

  • Microphone/speaker magic

Install

$ npm install -g ds4

Usage

$ ds4-dump

Will dump decoded events to stdout.

var ds4 = require('ds4');
var through = require('through');

// controller is a node-hid HID object representing the controller
hid.pipe(through(ds4.parseDS4HIDData)).pipe(process.stdout);

Example output frame:

{ leftAnalogX: 128,
  leftAnalogY: 128,
  rightAnalogX: 127,
  rightAnalogY: 127,
  l2Analog: 0,
  r2Analog: 0,
  dPadUp: false,
  dPadRight: false,
  dPadDown: false,
  dPadLeft: false,
  cross: false,

  square: false,
  triangle: false,
  l1: false,
  l2: false,
  r1: false,
  r2: false,
  l3: false,
  r3: false,
  share: false,
  options: false,
  trackPadButton: false,
  psButton: false,
  motionY: 0,
  motionX: 1,
  motionZ: -2,
  orientationRoll: -145,
  orientationYaw: 8155,
  orientationPitch: 2089,
  trackPadTouch0Id: 4,
  trackPadTouch0Active: false,
  trackPadTouch0X: 1513,
  trackPadTouch0Y: 40,
  trackPadTouch1Id: 0,
  trackPadTouch1Active: false,
  trackPadTouch1X: 0,
  trackPadTouch1Y: 0,
  timestamp: 36,
  batteryLevel: 0 }

Emitting data:

var ds4 = require('ds4');

ds4.emit(hid, {
  rumbleRight: 0, // 0 ... 255
  rumbleLeft:  0, // 0 ... 255
  r:           0, // 0 ... 255
  g:           0, // 0 ... 255
  b:           0, // 0 ... 255
  flashOn:     0, // 0 ... 255  (flash on duration)
  flashOff:    0  // 0 ... 255  (flash off duration)
});

Caveat

As long as this is pre 1.0 I'll rename property names.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
