Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] HID: wiimote: turn on the LEDs indicating the controller id
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 18:38:21 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817213840.1053216-2-rafael@rcpassos.me> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260817213840.1053216-1-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).
Signed-off-by: Rafael Passos <rafael@rcpassos.me>
