DRC Sensorbar

This plugin for the WiiUPluginSystem enables the sensor bar of the GamePad (DRC) permanently.

Limitations

  • The sensor bar is turned off when opening the HOME menu or when the GamePad is disconnected. It gets re-enabled when the HOME menu is closed/the GamePad is connected again. This is a system limitation and expected behaviour
  • Does not work in applets like the web browser - this is a limitation of the Plugin System
  • While using, remember that the cursor is not always shown on the GamePad - you should maybe use this together with another plugin, that can swap the screens (depending on the game/app)

Installation

  1. Install Aroma
  2. Check the Releases page and download the latest non-preview version of this plugin
  3. Extract it to "SD://wiiu/environments/aroma/plugins"
  4. Done!
  5. You can disable the plugin via the WUPS Config Menu ("L" + "D-Pad Down" + "Minus")

Building

For building you need:

Install them (in this order) according to their README's. Don't forget the dependencies of the libs itself.

Then you should be able to compile via make (with no logging) or make DEBUG=1 (with logging).

Buildflags

Logging

Building via make only logs errors (via OSReport). To enable logging via the LoggingModule set DEBUG to 1 or VERBOSE.

make Logs errors only (via OSReport).
make DEBUG=1 Enables information and error logging via LoggingModule.
make DEBUG=VERBOSE Enables verbose information and error logging via LoggingModule.

If the LoggingModule is not present, it'll fallback to UDP (Port 4405) and CafeOS logging.

Building using the Dockerfile

It's possible to use a docker image for building. This way you don't need anything installed on your host system.

# Build docker image (only needed once)
docker build . -t drc-sensorbar-builder

# make
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project drc-sensorbar-builder make DEBUG=1

# make clean
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project drc-sensorbar-builder make clean

Format the code via docker

docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/src ghcr.io/wiiu-env/clang-format:13.0.0-2 -r ./src -i
