Output Conversion Settings

Handling of Raw Input Values

Most input Nodon have Output and Range settings.
These settings determine how the raw input value should be converted and then sent as output. (In practice, the value is determined by how the input Nodon gives its output.)
The two settings should be considered a set.

Output

Specifies either Digital or Analog.
If it’s set to Digital, an output value of 1.00 will be sent if the input is within the values specified in Range. If it’s outside the range, it’ll send 0.00.
If it’s set to Analog, values lower than the range’s lower limit will be sent as 0.00, and values within it will be converted precisely to a value between 0.00 and 1.00. If it’s higher than the range’s upper limit, it’ll be sent as 1.00.

Range Slider

Upper/Lower Handle

The two handles can be moved left or right.
The raw input value (for example, the amount that a control stick is tilted) is converted according to the graph shown above the slider and then sent as output.

The horizontal axis represents the input, and the vertical axis represents the output.

Value Preview

The arrow underneath the slider shows a preview of the value.
It moves left or right, depending on the raw input value.
The value that will be sent from the Nodon is shown in the square part of the mark.

Common Settings

Input Threshold and Analog Output

This refers to analog ranges with a small deadzone—for example, 0.10 to 1.00.

Input values lower than 0.10 will be output as 0.00, so very small input will be disregarded. We can call 0.10 the “input threshold.”
If the input exceeds 0.10, it’ll start to output, and the output will increase along with the input. If 1.00 is received as input, it’ll send 1.00 as output.
When called up, most input Nodon will have their ranges set like this by default. (Some Nodon may have different input thresholds for the lower margin.)
A Nodon like the Shake Nodon can pick up slight movement even when the player is trying to hold the Joy-Con still, so having an input threshold can ensure that output is sent only when the Joy-Con is intentionally shaken.

Sensitive Analog Output

Settings similar to an analog range of 0.00 to 0.50.

Responds sensitively to input. Any input above a certain value will result in an output of 1.00.
In the example above, an input of 0.50 will result in an output of 1.00, which represents a sensitivity double that of a range like 0.00 to 1.00.
You can adjust the sensitivity by moving the slider on the right.

Sending Raw Values as Analog Output

Settings similar to an analog range of 0.00 to 1.00.

With a range of 0.00 to 1.00, the value received as input will be sent unchanged as output.

If-Style Digital Handling

Settings similar to a digital range of 0.10 to 1.00.

Use this when you want to make a clear, digital judgment of a momentary occurrence—for example, the swinging of a Joy-Con.
Very small input won’t produce any response (it’ll continue to output 0.00), but if it goes over the threshold, it’ll output 1.00. It won’t output intermediate values like 0.50.
You can adjust the handle for the lower margin to change the input threshold.

While-Style Digital Handling

Settings similar to a digital range of 0.50 to 0.60.

Outputs 1.00 under specific input conditions. Outside of those conditions, outputs 0.00.
For example, you might use this type of setting if you wanted to use the If-Face-Up Nodon to check whether the Joy-Con is held at a certain angle.
