Dualsense edge emulation for BLE-CompositeHID #60
Conversation
adapted code from hhd and other sources to the CompositeHID library.
Created Dualsense_Edge_Controller.ino with various serial commands for testing
Added emulated dualsense features
Missed some cleanup, added more detailed text for serial driven testing of individual inputs.
Better handling of reports not intended for LED. Might move all that code to it's own event as part of the library after the fact, for now it works in the sketch.
Removed a couple of macros I was previously trying for assigning values to the nimbledevice config, those files are unmodified in this branch so it doesn't make sense to keep them

Pull request overview
This PR adds DualSense Edge controller emulation support to the BLE-CompositeHID library, enabling gyro, touchpad, LED control, and additional buttons (L4/R4/L5/R5 paddles plus mute) beyond the standard DualSense controller. The implementation includes a complete example sketch demonstrating all features.
Key Changes
- Full DualSense Edge controller emulation with gyroscope, accelerometer, and touchpad support
- LED control including player LEDs, mute LED, and RGB lightbar
- Support for 4 additional paddle buttons (L4, R4, L5, R5) and a mute button not present on standard DualSense controllers

Typo in spacing: "paddles1-2" should use consistent formatting like "paddles 1-2" or "paddles 1 and 2" to match the style of "fn1-2" in the same line.

This looks to be a very nice PR, thanks @YeaSeb ... Would be nice to have an LED / Rumble example too. I might use some of this to work on lemmingDev#43 @YeaSeb keep up the awesome work! |

@YeaSeb Getting "An unknown item was found in the report descriptor " when attempting to connect to the example sketch using a Lolin ESP32 S3 Pro on Windows 11. I'll try it on Linux as well to verify. |
… connections to windows

Can confirm, tried this on a windows VM and steam was able to recognize the controller. It seems like this hasn't affected linux functionality at all.

This enables gyro, touchpad and led support all under the same HID device.
It also adds 4 additional buttons: Fn1 (L4), Fn2 (R4), Lb (L5), Rb(R5) that the original dualsense doesn't have, as well as a mute button.
I took code and references from many sources, like from hhd, bluetoothHID, gp2040-ce and the linux kernel.
Everything I tested works but I haven't tested possibly everything in here, some button masks as well as output report mappings might be wrong. Also, I only tested this code on linux, so more testing is needed and captures are welcome.
I recommend erasing flash for flashing this, I discovered some reliability Issues if I didn't sometimes.
