Stick drift emulate
Hi. Any idea if it would be possible to kinda emulate stick drift?

Re: Stick drift emulate
Yeah, you could definitely emulate stick drift in a few ways, depending on what you need it for. Here are a few approaches:
1. Software-Based Emulation
- If you're using a PC, you can use tools like DS4Windows (for PlayStation controllers) or reWASD to apply a slight offset to the stick input, mimicking drift.
- Some game engines (like Unity or Unreal) allow modifying input values programmatically, so you could add a small, random movement to simulate drift.
2. Firmware/Driver-Level Adjustments
- If you have something like an Arduino Micro or Leonardo, you could program it to send slight stick movements at random intervals, mimicking drift.
- Some controllers with customizable firmware (e.g., certain fight sticks or modded controllers) allow adjusting dead zones or adding input bias.
3. Hardware Simulation
- You could physically modify the stick by adding a tiny weight or a weak spring to pull it in a certain direction.
- A more extreme approach would be using a robotic arm to move the stick slightly, but that's overkill unless you're testing something specific.
What are you trying to do? Debugging a game? Testing controller response? Or just messing around?
