Input
The controller sends reports to the host (PS2) formed by 6 bytes:
| Byte 1 | Byte 2 | Byte 3 | Byte 4 | Byte 5 | Byte 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x01 | Brake | Power | Pedal | D-Pad | Buttons |
The values for the brake notch byte are the following.
| Released | B1 | B2 | B3 | B4 | B5 | B6 | B7 | B8 | Emergency | Transition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x79 | 0x8A | 0x94 | 0x9A | 0xA2 | 0xA8 | 0xAF | 0xB2 | 0xB5 | 0xB9 | 0xFF |
The values for the power notch byte are listed below.
| N | P1 | P2 | P3 | P4 | P5 | Transition |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x81 | 0x6D | 0x54 | 0x3F | 0x21 | 0x00 | 0xFF |
The pedal byte has two possible values depending on the state of the pedal.
| Released | Pressed |
|---|---|
| 0xFF | 0x00 |
The D-pad byte represents the state of the arrow buttons. If two opposite directions are pressed simultaneously, the result is Center unless a third button is pressed.
| N | NE | E | SE | S | SW | W | NW | None/Center |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0x00 | 0x01 | 0x02 | 0x03 | 0x04 | 0x05 | 0x06 | 0x07 | 0x08 |
The button byte uses six bits to represent the state of the physical buttons. 0 means that the button is released and 1 that it is pressed. A bitmask can be used to retrieve the buttons.
| Button 1 | Button 2 | Button 3 | Button 4 | Button 5 | Button 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| B | A | C | D | SELECT | START |
