nxbt VS About

Oh wow, awesome use-case. This actually uses my Switch Bluetooth Controller emulation project [0] under the hood for automating the button presses. If you have a RPi on-hand, you can grab a decent USB capture card for around $15 on Ebay or Amazon, last I checked, for a cheap(er) entry point into automation projects like this.

Go into the Switch main menu without closing the game and go into the ["Change Grip/Order" menu](https://github.com/Brikwerk/nxbt/blob/master/docs/img/change-grip-order-menu.png ).

Hi everyone: I have a problem, I want to install a software called nxbt (https://github.com/Brikwerk/nxbt) to simulate a switch controller but when I enter the command to install it in the linux terminal it says “command not found”

There’s a program I’m running, nxbt and there’s a pull request that would be really useful for me but I don’t know how to download it. What subreddit can help me with the syntax for terminal to implement this person’s fix?

nxbt also works without custom firmware but I think there's issues with latency and some inputs not going through.

The joycon emulation is done using NXBT which is super awesome! It already allows you to use your keyboard with your switch, though I edited it some to use the mouse as well as allow for rebinding keys in the webapp. It's a bit janky right now 'cause I didn't think other people would be using it, but my fork can be found at NXBT-MK. I know it's messy, go easy on me! You can also change the acceleration needed to activate the right joystick by changing the deadZone variable if you're interested in tweaking it a bit! If you follow the instructions in the readme you should be able to set it up on Linux relatively fast, though some of the dependencies are out of date for the original library and will have to be downgraded manually. I don't remember which ones in particular ;-; but I can go back and make a list of dependencies and versions later if people are having difficulty :)

Here's the github page where I found the program: https://github.com/Brikwerk/nxbt

I haven't used or contributed in a while but if this is something that interests you I highly recommend taking a look at the Pokemon Automation project[0].

It goes away beyond just automating shiny hunting and a bunch of the programs they have run completely on cheap microcontrollers (teensy/pro micro boards) and there's a very active community that's been going strong for years.

If you are tired to do it manually but you still want legit shinies, check this out: Pokemon Automation. Really easy to set up, and it works for any Pokemon game on switch.

Check this out. Though they recommend a teensy rather than arduino

You may want to check out the EggAutonomous script from the PokemonAutomation project

cough cough

A lot of this already exists https://github.com/PokemonAutomation/About
