Inspired by an automatic Pokemon shiny capturer, my friend and I are determined to make something similar. However, we had some questions with regard to the signal required to for the 3DS to detect a "button press".
In the original creators video, the following implementation was used:
We were also wondering if the low-pass filter is simply used to lower the voltage of the signal?
Finally, since I am having trouble finding documentation on 3DS button logic, I am also unsure of what my final output signal needs to be to be recognized as a "button press".
Any help with our project would be greatly appreciated!

By my understanding, the Arduino is capable of outputting a PWM signal causing some confusion as to why the a hex inverter is needed to create the PWN signal.The controller (Arduino micro) is connected to 3DS button logic through a level shifter since 3DS uses 1.8V logic. Implemented with a 74HC04 hex inverter, I generated a PWM signal, which is put through a low-pass filter then a buffer to obtain 1.8V in order to power the chip.
