Subject: [PATCH 1/3] HID: wiimote: turn on the LEDs indicating the controller id
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 12:32:09 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710153456.2093889-2-rafael@rcpassos.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710153456.2093889-1-rafael@rcpassos.me>
The behavior in a Wii/Wii U console is to have each controller turn on
a different LED indicating the controller id.
This commit implements the same behavior using the ida struct.
Unlike switch controllers, each ID only turns one LED (from 1 to 4).
