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 ds4Usage
$ ds4-dumpWill 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:

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)_/¯
