Controlling Expresii with Nintendo Switch Joycons

2/1/2018

Comments

 
Soon after the Nintendo Switch was released in March 2017, digital artists have been using the controllers, called Joycons, as a hand-held controller for digital painting.  In contrast with all previous low-cost single-hand game controllers we tried before, the joycons ($80 a pair ) are equipped with gyroscopes, accelerometers and even IR motion camera.   ​

The joycons works on Windows even without installing a driver  but the analog thumb-stick only works as digital buttons.  Thanks to  this   Joycon driver for Windows   by Matthew Fosse, we can now also use the analog joystick (and maybe later the gyroscope too).

After installing vJoy and Joycon driver as instructed by the Joycon driver page, we are able to use Joycon for quick controls for Expresii. We had to connect the Left joycon instead of having left and right combined, since the mapping of the combined controls is different from what Expresii currently accepts. We tried  x360ce  to remap the controls but  we didn't figure out how yet. :)   Currently, Joycon driver outputs gyroscope data as rotational impulses rather than tilt angles so we can't really make use of the gyroscope  for brush tilt yet.   Anyway, here is a short video of using Joycon with Expresii:
We thank Mandy Ng of   Rooftop Animation    for providing the Joycons. ​
