Bluepad32 v4.2.0

[4.2.0] - 2025-01-03

New

• ESP32: ESP32-C6 and ESP32-H2 supported.
  • They depend on BTstack 1.6.2 (pre-bundled with Bluepad32 v4.2.0)
• Pico W: Pico 2 W supported.
  • Requires Pico SDK 2.1 or newer.
  • If you want to use it with BTstack 1.6.2 you might need to apply this patch
  • By default, "examples/pico_w" was modified to use BTstack 1.6.1.
• ESP-IDF: v5.3 and v5.4 supported
  • Needed for Arduino Core v3.1. See Arduino template project
• Wii: Add support for Wii uDraw Tablet. Fixes Github Issue #105
• Wii: Add uni_hid_parser_wii_request_report_type(struct uni_hid_device_s* d, wii_report_type_t r);
  • Allows user to change the Wii report type

Changed

• BTstack: Using v1.6.2
  • v1.6.1 is still supported by Bluepad32.
  • BTstack v1.6.2 changed some API used by Bluepad32. Bluepad32 adapts the API-calls at compile-time.
• Documentation: Updated FAQ and Arduino docs.
• Pico W: Updated btstack_config.h. Disables malloc, enables some BTstack features, and some minor changes
  • See the new btstack_config.h
• Pico W: Updated instructions to use Pico Debug probe
• Pico W: Updated CMakeLists.txt with an option to dump HCI packets.
• ESP32: Updated instructions to use JTAG debugger.
• BLE: Connection is a bit more reliable. No longer depends on having encryption enabled.
• Core: packet handlers have the uni_ prefix. Useful to avoid collision when putting breakpoints.
  • Example: Easier to put a breakpoint in uni_hci_packet_handler than in hci_packet_handler
    since there are many of those.
• Controllers DB: Updated from latest SDL
  • Only a few new entries added.
• ESP32 Console: incoming_connections_enable sets/gets whether incoming connections are allowed.
• ESP32 Console: scan_and_autoconnect is a new command that behaves like the old incoming_connections_enable.
• PlatformIO: platformio.ini file updated in "examples/esp32"
  (and "Arduino template" project as well)
  • See PlatformIO issue 1225 to learn what's going on between PlatformIO and Espressif.
  • You might need to uninstall PlatformIO first. E.g: rm -rf ~/.platformio

Fixed

• Switch driver:
  • Increased timeout
  • Fixed pro joystick calibration
  • Make sure the right joycon calibration is mapped to the right location
  • Implemented a user calibration check and updated stick cal if true
• Examples: Cleanup CMakeLists.txt
• Allow multiple "safe" commands per loop.
  • This was a nasty bug that was mostly manifested in Arduino users, when multiple commands like
    BP32.forget...(), BP32.enableService...(), only the latest one was executed.
  • Now it allows up to 8 calls per loop.
  • Fixes Github Issue #130
