Is the idea to build a joystick with espruino or be able to talk to the hacked Joy-Con like device? Personally I think it makes more sense to hack existing controller. Some of them even use processors that can be flashed with espruino. I did a quick hack of "daydream" like controller for a device called miraprism controller. There is lots of similar available to buy.
Long time ago I have build a controller from scratch and wasnt happy about it. Mainly because cheap knob modules you can buy have small usable range of movement. If you spend more money for proper modules you might as well buy already made whole thing.
Right now I am working on web joystick app that will communicate with my espruino over Web Bluetooth. Then I can just use it from my phone.
This is the project I need the joystick for. There is few post discussing joysticks options there: bolidJs
I would be interested if anyone comes up with a solution that can talk to espruino device.
