This is my attempt at connecint a Steam Controller to the Nintendo Switch. This has been done before a few times, and you can find the examples if "you google good". But the only well documented attempt replaces the Steam conroller's firmware. The Open Steam Controller is cool and all, but requires firmware updating. So switching back and forth from Steam Link to Switch can get tedious. SO, My plan is to use the Raspberry Pi as a middleman to "translate" the Steam Controller input, to output to a Nintendo Switch. I am a genius, but i did not write all the code myself. In fact I did not write most of it. I simply combined a few projects and added some connections. The projects used by this are:
To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.
The physical prereqs are:
- Nintendo Switch
- Steam Controller
- Raspberry Pi (Alternately: any other Bluetooth capable computer that can run Python should work)
Sofware prereqs:
- Python
I will let you know once I get this far, but basic steps should be:
- Clone the repo to the Raspberry Pi
git clone https://github.com/SphorkWarrior/SwitchSteamControllerPi.git- (Optional) Add startup script to run on startup
- Connect Steam Controller to Raspberry Pi (Direct USB or Wireless Dongle)
- Connect to Nintendo switch
