I have therefore built a small example with a servo motor and 4 LEDs as inspiration. git clone ДЄttached is also an example ( sample.py), which can be viewed if necessary. In order to save us this effort, we can go back to an already created Python library.

One way to use the driver in your own scripts is the manual readout of the output values. Use the Xbox 360 Controller to start scripts and commands The following (standard) assignment of the keys for use as a mouse applies: If the command should be executed at system start, you can either write an autostart script or use crontab. You can also change the speed and selection of the buttons (as described in the documentation).

Only one other parameter must be specified: sudo xboxdrv -detach-kernel-driver -silent -mouse Since I have rarely connected a keyboard to the Raspberry Pi (I use almost exclusively SSH and sometimes the Remotedesktop) and even more rarely a mouse, I find it very handy to use the Xbox 360 wireless controller as a mouse for the Raspberry Pi. Use the Xbox 360 Controller as Raspberry Pi MouseДЄ feature I particularly like is the mouse option. In total, up to 4 radio controllers can be used and addressed or read out. For example, it is possible to make the LEDs of the Xbox 360 controller light / flash ( -led NUM) or vibrate ( -r 255,255). On the documentation page, there are all commands with a brief explanation. To do this, start the driver using: sudo xboxdrv -detach-kernel-driverДЄfter that, press the keys to change the log, which indicates which key(s) is/are pressed and its value. Now you can turn the controller on and test if it is detected.

We first install the driver so that it can be communicated with the controller: sudo apt - get install xboxdrv

Raspberry Pi Software for the Xbox 360 ControllerДЇor Linux distributions, there is a developed driver, especially for communicating with (wireless) Xbox controllers.

LED Set 5mm 4 LEDs: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow ( US / UK).If you want to rebuild the small project below, you also need: Xbox 360 Wireless Controller ( US / UK)Д®ach Raspberry Pi with at least one free USB port can be used, for example, the more powerful Raspberry Pi 3.To use the Raspberry Pi with the Xbox 360 controller, you do not need a lot of accessories: From the installation of the required software, to the use as a mouse, to the switching of the GPIOs and the control of a servo motor with the joystick. In this tutorial several of these possibilities are shown. In RetroPie, the Xbox Controller can also be used as input media for games on the Raspberry Pi. This allows the gamepad to be used as an external mouse (in desktop mode) or in scripts and thus the GPIOs can be controlled. In addition to the control of the Raspberry Pi via infrared remote controls, 433 Mhz transmitter, messengers and many more, also a wireless Xbox 360 controller can be read from the Raspberry Pi.
