Is there Any way that this SwitchControllerEmulator could be re-made to use with sys_botbase? cause that would be heckin' neat!

Specifically as a "drawing bot" for Animal Crossing New Horizons. that would somehow read either .acnh files from acpatterns editor, or even better read the "Paint By Letter" save options it has there.

Would be a pretty popular tool for sure!

First for context, here are the pieces of hardware i'm using :

• KeeYees Pro Micro ATmega32U4 for Arduino IDE Leonardo Bootloader (should still work right ?)
• AZDelivery Adaptator USB UART-TTL 3.3V 5V CH340G
• a pc running windows 10

1. the flashing process worked fine, i used the .hex you provided on my windows pc running the following command in my avr directory
   "bin\avrdude.exe" -C"etc\avrdude.conf" -v -patmega32u4 -cavr109 -PCOM6 -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:D:\SwitchControllerEmulator-master\Joystick.hex:imanage
   my pc then recognised the micro-controller as an HORIPAD-s as a gamepad , so all good there.
2. installed the drivers for my serial adaptator
3. ran npm install in the project folder where index.js is located (successfully)
4. wired the microcontroller and the adaptator as instructed
5. plug the serial adaptator into my pc then the micro-controller to my switch.
   nothing was detected by the switch at this point
6. ran the command node index.js COM8 (successfully)
7. open the html page and it says that the controller is connected.

but still no connection on the switch part. Am I missing something or did I did something wrong?
i'm not even sure that the html page is passing the input ( i tried plugging both end of the device (the microcontroller and the adaptator) into my windows pc and by inspecting the HORIPAD-s i didn't saw any inputs when pressing button on the html page (then again by plugin my procontroller, the input were there but were completly glitching out. So that could mean nothing)

does your contraption still work on your end , maybe nintendo put some kind of patch in place at some point ?

EDIT : Just redid all the process but this time running on linux (ubuntu) and now it works !!! i also recompiled the .hex just in case but i dont think it was the cause of my problem.
for the people that dont have linux reading this , you can download a virtual machine and run ubuntu as a "windows application" this way
