Hacking [Tutorial] Printing Spla2n Posts with an Arduino/Teensy Board!

[EBhero]

I've chugged through the instructions and am hitting a wall at this step, but I'm not seeing a Joystick.hex file, just Joystick.c and Joystick.h. Any pointers, or am I missing something obvious?

Did you compile the code with MingW32-make?

 

[Rayya]

I'll post when I get home. Please wait.

How were you able to get your arduino to choose the left most pen option? for me it's constantly using the middle pen.

---

---

EDIT: I managed to fix the problem is an unorthodox way. This works for splatoon 3 players who want to change the pen size. This will use the smallest pen available instead of the medium sized one by default. It follows the same steps as outlined in Raaya's post except instead of the button being linked to clearing the screen, it's now used to change the pen size.

// Clear the screen if (command_count == ms_2_count(1500) || command_count == ms_2_count(3000)) ReportData->Button |= SWITCH_MINUS;

to

// Clear the screen if (command_count == ms_2_count(1500) || command_count == ms_2_count(3000)) ReportData->Button |= SWITCH_L;

Someone else out there probably knows a better way to do it, but since I have zero experience in coding anything, I figured I would just switch a command to do something else. The only downside to this is that it will start with one dot that is medium size, until it switches to the smaller pen.

There is a new fork that has been updated for splatoon 3. So you don't have to do this anymore.

I’m stuck on this as well. I’m not sure which line I need. There are multiple lines that start with avrdude. I have an Arduino Micro.

The line for AVR Dude is supposed to look like this in the Arduino IDE after the "Upload Sketch" step:

It is the white line that goes alllllll the way across. You'd grab this line and change the .hex at the end to the location of the Joystick.hex file that you make after using the "make" command in the cmd prompt. So it would look like this:

From this:
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino17/bin/avrdude -CC:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf -v -patmega32u4 -cavr109 -PCOM6 -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\arduino_build_600407/sketch_sep11b.ino.hex:i

To this:
C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino17/bin/avrdude -CC:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\arduino\tools\avrdude\6.3.0-arduino17/etc/avrdude.conf -v -patmega32u4 -cavr109 -PCOM6 -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\Splatmeme-Printer-master\Joystick.hex:i

Don't just copy and paste what is in this post as it won't be the same directory as on your computer.

I've chugged through the instructions and am hitting a wall at this step, but I'm not seeing a Joystick.hex file, just Joystick.c and Joystick.h. Any pointers, or am I missing something obvious?

The Joystick.hex file will be created after you input the "make" command in cmd prompt like this:

Hi, I just got this all set up and working. However, the issue that I'm having is pixels overlapping each other. My guess is it's going a little too fast so it's inputting more pixels than it should? I'm not really sure. I was wondering if there is a way to slow down the speed that the buttons are imputed on the screen so it could possibly input the pixels more accurately.

I have an Arduino Leonardo board, can support be added for it?

Yes. I use the same board. The code is atmega32u4

You're supposed go get error 128. It means the hex file was made. Proceed to the next step.

You‘re barely using it if you follow that guide

You can’t be too picky if you cant even figure it out in the first place lmao

Hi everyone, I followed this post and got it working on Splatoon 3. Thanks for the great tutorial and the contributions in the thread to bring it to Splatoon 3!

However I got an issue trying to print images on my own Switch. As you can see in the attached screenshot, there are two places where two rows of pixels are misaligned by a few. This happens when the cursor suddenly stops moving for a split second, and resumes to print with all pixels in the pause skipped. It almost feels like the switch hangs for a few seconds while dropping all inputs from the emulated controller. On the next row this recovers since the last few pixels in the previous row gets capped at the left/right edge of the canvas.

I tried the printer with different images and different boards (Arduino Micro & Arduino Uno R3), and it happens every time at the same positions (at least very close). I wonder if this is caused by Switch or Splatoon going to sleep and recover after a fixed amount of time. I also tested it on Splatoon 2 and there is no problem at all. Has anyone else had this issue?

Have you tried doing it via handheld mode by chance? With a usb c adapter

The switch is very particular with what usb port it uses through the doc with these micro controllers I’ve noticed. No idea why but even my Twitch bot one needed to use the bottom usb on the dock. The top would cause random disconnects

Oh yeah, I had forgotten to mention that I get the same issue with the shifted lines when using a USB to USB C cable as well.

Thanks for checking! I forgot to mention that all my attempts were done in handheld mode with a USB-C to USB-B/micro-USB cable. I tried again in dock mode with the middle USB-A port and the attached screenshot is what I got. It looks like the issue happens in either mode.

Also I'm not sure I know the top/bottom USB port on the dock as you mentioned. There are only 3 ports on my dock (from top to down): a USB-C port to AC adapter, a USB-A port (I used this), and an HDMI port. When I disconnect the top port to power my Switch goes to sleep automatically.
