Any existing support for hat(), connected(), or persistent BT bond-store in USBHost_t36?

[PickyBiker]

Hi USBHost_t36 maintainers,


Before I file a full feature request, I want to check whether any existing version or branch already includes support for:

1. hat() — a clean API to read POV hat (D-pad) values from joystick or gamepad.
2. connected() — a reliable method to check if a device (e.g. JoystickController, BluetoothController) is currently active/connected.
3. Persistent Bluetooth bond storage — hooks or support in BluetoothController to load and save link keys across power cycles (e.g. EEPROM, Flash, etc.)

I’ve reviewed the GitHub master branch and examples and haven’t seen these capabilities exposed as part of the public API. If any experimental branch or partial implementation already exists, I’d love to know before formally proposing enhancements.


Thanks for the great work and any pointers you may have!
