This drivers allows to read inputs from a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

connected using Bluetooth

## Requirements

- a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller connected to a Raspberry Pi using Bluetooth

## Documentation

For full documentation, please visit [![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/raspberrypi-go-drivers/switchprocontroller.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/raspberrypi-go-drivers/switchprocontroller)

## Quick start

```go

import (

	"fmt"

	"github.com/raspberrypi-go-drivers/switchprocontroller"

)

func main() {

	controller := switchprocontroller.NewSwitchProController()

	controller.StartListener(0)

	for {

		select {

		case event := <-controller.Events:

			if event.Button != nil {

				fmt.Printf("%s:%d\n", event.Button.Name, event.Button.State)

			} else if event.Stick != nil {

				fmt.Printf("%s - Y:%f X:%f\n", event.Stick.Name, event.Stick.Y, event.Stick.X)

			}

		case <-time.After(60 * time.Second):

			fmt.Println("timeout")

			return

		}

	}

}

```

## Raspberry Pi compatibility

This driver has has only been tested on an Raspberry Pi Zero WH using integrated bluetooth but may work well on other Raspberry Pi having integrated Bluetooth
