The encoding algorithm for frequency is log2((double)freq/10.0)*32.0. The algorithm for amplitude is split in 3 range indexes (idx < 16, 16 <= idx < 32, idx < 128) and it's currently undecoded.
An example of code using it is:
//Float frequency to hex conversion
if (freq < 0.0f)
freq = 0.0f;
else if (freq > 1252.0f)
freq = 1252.0f;
uint8_t encoded_hex_freq = (uint8_t)round(log2((double)freq/10.0)*32.0);
//Convert to Joy-Con HF range. Range in big-endian: 0x0004-0x01FC with +0x0004 steps.
uint16_t hf = (encoded_hex_freq-0x60)*4;
//Convert to Joy-Con LF range. Range: 0x01-0x7F.
uint8_t lf = encoded_hex_freq-0x40;
The high frequency and low amplitude are encoded and must always add the "control" byte to the HA/LF byte. An example is the following:
//Left linear actuator
uint16_t hf = 0x01a8; //Set H.Frequency
uint8_t hf_amp = 0x88; //Set H.Frequency amplitude
//Byte swapping
byte[0] = hf & 0xFF;
byte[1] = hf_amp + ((hf >> 8) & 0xFF); //Add amp + 1st byte of frequency to amplitude byte
uint8_t lf = 0x63; //Set L.Frequency
uint16_t lf_amp = 0x804d; //Set L.Frequency amplitude
//Byte swapping
byte[2] = lf + ((lf_amp >> 8) & 0xFF); //Add freq + 1st byte of LF amplitude to the frequency byte
byte[3] = lf_amp & 0xFF;
Values # are in HEX.
HF Byte 0-1 # | LF Byte 3 # | Frequency (Hz) | Frequency Rounded (Hz) |
