[Request]: Nintendo Switch-styled player LEDs

[Proofeek]

Please describe your request.

It would be great to have the option to set the Player LED setting not only to the player number but also to whether the player is number "" or higher. For example, to have the LED light up not only when the player is number 1 but also when are 2, 3, and 4, allowing the creation of a PS3-style player indicator. for example, for player 3, three LEDs light up, not just the third one.

What operating system are you using?

Windows 11

What microcontroller are you making a request for?

pi pico

How will the microcontroller be programed for this request?

Nothing is stopping you from just adding multiple of each player led, and binding them to each LED you want to turn on for that player

Also, PS3 controllers only light up a single led for the player indicator, just tested my PS3 controller on my PS3, so i am not actually sure what you mean by PS3-style there

The do this on purpose because after player 4, they then combine 4+1 for player 5, 4+2 for player 6 and 4+3 for player 7 and iirc i do support that out of the box

Oops, sorry, I never had a ps3, I thought they worked that way, but anyway, when I bind multiple player numbers to one LED, it doesn't light up at all.

Damn, that's unfortunate, I'll have a look later

Ah yeah i can see why that wouldn't work, ill have to do some better logic for that to make this sort of thing work

I'm gonna add a small thing here to say that a Multi Light Player Indicator is something the Nintendo Switch does. Here's the player light list taken straight from nintendo's website: (1 is On, 0 is Off, viewed horizontally) P1 - 1 0 0 0 P2 - 1 1 0 0 P3 - 1 1 1 0 P4 - 1 1 1 1 P5 - 1 0 0 1 P6 - 1 0 1 0 P7 - 1 0 1 1 P8 - 0 1 1 0
