    Tired of shiny hunting? We automate the Pokémon games! (by PokemonAutomation)

  • 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.

    Control your Nintendo Switch through a website, terminal, or macro.

  • 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.
