user cal not found about xjoy HOT 11 CLOSED

Looks like this error was added with the new full analog support changes by @wormyrocks
https://github.com/sam0x17/XJoy/blob/master/XJoy/XJoy.cpp#L316 so he might be able to offer some insight.

@Sicurious Is the error message showing just once, twice, in a loop? Also, have you tried seeing if XJoy is working anyway despite the error? Experimentally I suppose I could suppress the error message and see if everything is otherwise working assuming this isn't a fatal error situation.

the error pops up twice. The first one after the left joycon is found and the second one after the right one is found. And for me it shows the button that is being pressed but it doesnt seem to do anything. Like when i try to use it ingame it doesnt work at all :-/

Hi,

"User cal not found" displays when the user has not done manual analog stick calibration on the Switch, in which case the program falls back to using the factory stick calibration.

Doing the user calibration may be helpful if you have the Joy-Con drift issue.

So short answer, you can safely ignore the "user cal not found" message.

It sounds like you're getting button inputs - you can check to see if the driver is working by opening joy.cpl from the Run: dialog and checking the button and stick statuses of the controller.

May I suggest using the word "calibration" instead of "cal" as I kept seeing this issue and thinking "Why would XJoy care about some freaking calendar".

@Gloix yes I was a bit confused by this as well when I saw it -- I will change the text

It also sounds like you have a separate issue where XJoy isn't working for you? What game are you trying to use it with? Remember that the game needs to support Xbox 360 controller input. For some games, you need to select the controller or enable controller mode under input/control options.

note: ambigious error message has been fixed with db502cb

I may have not written that well. I don't have this issue. I just saw it in the issues section of the repo and though of "calendar" as a word for "cal". 🙃

ah ok excellent -- closing!

So the calibration should be done on a switch! Might want to add a more descriptive message for this, I kept looking for a way to open XJoy in some form of calibration mode...

from xjoy.

ah ok, thanks for the context @svbeon I did not realize that. Does the calibration only pertain to gyroscope or also other things like analog controls?

from xjoy.

No idea tbqh. I can try looking into it later
