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

WebHID-DS4

A browser API for Sony DualShock 4 controllers built over the WebHID API.

Provides high level APIs to access most of the controller's features over USB and Bluetooth.

Supported Features

  • USB and Bluetooth connectivity
  • Gyro & Accelerometer data
  • Touchpad Input
  • Buttons & Analogs
  • Lightbar RGB values
  • Rumble motors

Known Issues

  • Setting the lightbar colors and rumble intensity over Bluetooth is currently broken.
  • There's currently no way to detect if a controller has been disconnected.
  • There's currently no way to detect if a controller has already been connected either.
  • Not all DS4 Models are supported by this library. I only have a CUH-ZCT2U, so that's what i used to test. Support for third party controllers is not guaranteed.

Installation

npm install --save webhid-ds4

Usage Example

import { DualShock4 } from 'webhid-ds4'

// The WebHID device can only be requested upon user interaction
document.getElementById('connectButton').addEventListener('click', async () => {
  const DS4 = new DualShock4()
  // This will request the WebHID device and initialize the controller
  await DS4.init()
  // Define a custom lightbar color
  await DS4.lightbar.setColorRGB(170, 255, 0)
  // The state object is updated periodically with the current controller state
  function logInputs () {
    requestAnimationFrame(logInputs)
    document.getElementById('triangle').innerText = `Triangle Button: ${DS4.state.buttons.triangle}`
    document.getElementById('circle').innerText = `Circle Button: ${DS4.state.buttons.circle}`
    document.getElementById('cross').innerText = `Cross Button: ${DS4.state.buttons.cross}`
    document.getElementById('square').innerText = `Square Button: ${DS4.state.buttons.square}`

    document.getElementById('leftStick').innerText = `Left Stick: ${DS4.state.axes.leftStickX}, ${DS4.state.axes.leftStickY}`
    document.getElementById('rightStick').innerText = `Right Stick: ${DS4.state.axes.rightStickX}, ${DS4.state.axes.rightStickY}`
  }
  logInputs()
})
