Rumble Data Format

The rumble data is split up between left and right. This is for the splitting of Joy-Cons but also for Pro Controllers which have two linear resistance actuators (LRA) that can be controlled independently.

Data
Description
2 - HF Low Range Mode
0x04 - 0xFC
Left side - Encoded High Frequency. 81.75Hz - 313.14Hz. 
Requires LSB of byte 3 to be cleared.
2 - HF High Range Mode
0x00 - 0xC8
Left side - Encoded High Frequency 320Hz - 1252.57Hz. 
Requires LSB of byte 3 to be set.
3
0x00 - 0xC8
Left side - High Frequency Amplitude. Increments of 0x0200.
4 - LF
0x01 - 0x7F
Left Side - Low Frequency. 40.87Hz - 626.28Hz.
5 - LF Amplitude Low Mode
0x40 - 0x72
Left Side - Encoded Low Frequency Amplitude.
Requires MSB of byte 4 to be cleared.
5 - LF Amplitude Intermediate Mode
0x40 - 0x71
Left Side - Encoded Low Frequency Intermediate Amplitude.
Requres MSB of byte 4 to be set.
