# JoyDance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Demo
|
|
https://youtu.be/f_1IkUHFdH8
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- Play Just Dance 2017 and later on Xbox/Stadia/PS/NSW with Joy-Cons.
|
|
- Playing with a Joy-Con (+ its strap) is safer and more comfortable than holding a phone.
|
|
- No latency.
|
|
- Better score than using a phone (hopefully).
|
|
- No random disconnection.
|
|
- Support up to 6 players.
|
|
- Support all platforms (in theory):
|
|
- Xbox Series X/S
|
|
- Nintendo Switch
|
|
- Xbox One (not tested)
|
|
- Stadia (not tested)
|
|
- PlayStation 4/5 (not tested)
|
|
|
|
## How does it work?
|
|
It pretends to be the [Just Dance Controller app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ubisoft.dance.justdance2015companion), sends movements of the Joy-Con to your game console.
|
|
|
|
## Tested on
|
|
- JD 2022 on Xbox Series X and JD 2020 on Nintendo Switch.
|
|
- MacOS Catalina 10.15 with [TP-Link Bluetooth 4.0 Nano USB Adapter UB400](https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/usb-adapter/ub400/).
|
|
- Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W with [MPOW BH519A Bluetooth 5.1 USB Adapter](https://www.xmpow.com/products/mpow-bh519a-bluetooth-5-1-usb-adapter-for-pc).
|
|
|
|
Tested on Zero 2 W with 2 Joy-Cons and it worked just fine.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
- PC/Mac/Linux with bluetooth support.
|
|
- [Python 3.7+](https://www.python.org) and [pip](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installation/) installed.
|
|
- 1 to 6 Joy-Cons.
|
|
- It's **RECOMMENDED** to:
|
|
- Use a Bluetooth dongle, because built-in Bluetooth sucks (or you will get disconnected constantly while playing). Make sure you buy a dongle with game controllers support, not just for audio devices. Not all dongles support Mac/Linux, so remember to check compatibility before buying.
|
|
- Use a Nintendo Switch to update Joy-Con to the latest firmware & calibate its motion sensors. Ask your friends or bring it to the game shop if you don't have one.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Download the latest version and extract it into a folder.
|
|
2. Open that folder in Terminal/Command Prompt, then run this command:
|
|
```
|
|
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
|
|
```
|
|
#### Extra steps for Linux users
|
|
|
|
1. Linux users may need to use [`hid`](https://github.com/apmorton/pyhidapi) instead of [`hidapi`](https://github.com/trezor/cython-hidapi) (not sure why `hidapi` couldn't find Joy-Cons on Linux).
|
|
```
|
|
pip3 uninstall hidapi
|
|
|
|
sudo apt install libhidapi-dev
|
|
pip3 install hid
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Create a new udev rule file at `/etc/udev/rules.d/50-nintendo-switch.rules` ([Source](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/comments/egcvpq/using_nintendo_switch_pro_controller_on_linux/fc5s7qm/))
|
|
```
|
|
# Switch Joy-con (L) (Bluetooth only)
|
|
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", KERNELS=="0005:057E:2006.*", MODE="0666"
|
|
|
|
# Switch Joy-con (R) (Bluetooth only)
|
|
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", KERNELS=="0005:057E:2007.*", MODE="0666"
|
|
|
|
# Switch Pro controller (USB and Bluetooth)
|
|
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="057e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2009", MODE="0666"
|
|
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", KERNELS=="0005:057E:2009.*", MODE="0666"
|
|
|
|
# Switch Joy-con charging grip (USB only)
|
|
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="057e", ATTRS{idProduct}=="200e", MODE="0666"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Reload udev rules:
|
|
```
|
|
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
|
|
sudo udevadm trigger
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. Install [`dkms-hid-nintendo`](https://github.com/nicman23/dkms-hid-nintendo) (Joy-Con driver) if you're running Linux kernel older than 5.16.

## FAQ
|
|
1. **What is the correct way to hold a Joy-Con?**
|
|
Hold the Joy-Con (L)/(R) in your right hand, with your palm touching the back of Joy-Con.
|
|
|
|
2. **How to control with Joy-Con (L)?**
|
|
- Up = X
|
|
- Right = A
|
|
- Down = B
|
|
- Left = Y
|
|
- L = R
|
|
- ZL = ZR
|
|
- Minus = Plus
|
|
|
|
3. **How to exit JoyDance?**
|
|
Press `Ctrl + C` two times or close the Terminal window.
|
|
|
|
4. **Is it possible to port JoyDance to wearable devices like smart watches (Wear OS, watchOS...)?**
|
|
Yes. I tested on a tiny [M5StickC Plus](https://shop.m5stack.com/collections/stick-series/products/m5stickc-plus-esp32-pico-mini-iot-development-kit) and it worked! But remember, some movements require you to move only the palm of your hand won't be recognized correctly.
