DualSense

Rust programmatic wrapper over HID messages sent and received by the PS5 DualSense controller. Allows support for simultaneous key presses or combos that require consecutive presses in a given time interval(wip).

Usage

Read

Add callback functions to detect when properties change.

Log details about the left and right sticks' positions:

use dualsense_rs::DualSense;


fn main() {
    let mut controller = DualSense::new();

    controller.on_left_pad_x_changed(&|lpx| println!("left pad x: {lpx}"));
    controller.on_left_pad_x_changed(&|lpx| {
        if lpx > 127 {
            println!("left pad x in right region: {lpx}")
        }
    });
    controller.on_left_pad_y_changed(&|lpy| println!("left pad y: {lpy}"));
    controller.on_right_pad_x_changed(&|rpx| println!("right pad x: {rpx}"));

    let handle = controller.run();
    // can also add after the `.run()` call
    controller.on_right_pad_y_changed(&|rpy| println!("right pad y: {rpy}"));
    // make sure to join the thread so the program doesn't stop immediately
    handle.join().ok();
}

Write

Output values are stored in an internal cache and will be sent in the following read/write cycle. Packets will not be sent if nothing changed.

use dualsense_rs::DualSense;


fn main() {
    let mut controller = DualSense::new();
    controller.set_left_trigger_effect(TriggerEffect::Mode1);

    let handle = controller.run();
    controller.set_light_red(255);
    handle.join().ok();
}

Examples

Try examples for:

• log_all -> log values for all buttons, analog sticks and touchpad
• sensors -> log values for the gyroscope and accelerometer
• triggers -> log values for the triggers and change their modes

cargo run --example <example>

Roadmap

Currently the following features are of priority:

• bluetooth support
• CRC creation and validation
• charging status
• improve API:
  • make callbacks return structs with utilitary methods
  • fix borrow issue when trying to update local variable in callback
• combos:
  • add the possibility to detect when multiple keys are pressed in a time frame
