Hardware​

Requirements​

The GPIO pins set on the Pin Mappings page will each need to be brought and kept low to remain active to use that mode, and when using the default mode, none of the pins can be brought low. Therefore, a 2 or 3 position toggle switch or slide toggle is necessary for proper use of this add-on.

Installation​

Installation will depend on whether a toggle switch or slide toggle is used. In general, on one side of the switch, connect the selection pin(s) to the GPIO pin(s) set. On the center pin, connect it to any GND pin.

Miscellaneous Notes​

Enabling this add-on will disable the use of the DPad Hotkey Shortcuts, resulting in the toggle switch or slide toggle set up with this add-on being the only method to set the DPad mode.
