![]() ![]() I would like the 360 controller input program to run in both Linux and Windows if possible. On a side note, would it kill Google to have a blog feature for googlecode projects? I do plan on documenting the whole design though, so eventually it will be interesting. I have a webpage for the project, but it is still pretty sparse. The analog triggers are a big feature for the 360 controller. For those familiar with helicopter controls, the left joystick will control the collective, the right joystick with control the pitch and roll, and the analog triggers will control the yaw. It is very ergonomic and has all of the control inputs needed. The 360 controller was selected because it is well designed. It will use an Arduino for onboard processing, and Zigbee for wireless control. Basically, it will be very similar to this, only it will cost about $1,000 rather than $15,000. The copter will have 6 total propellers, arranged in 3 co-axial pairs. Is there a simple lightweight way I can grab the controller input with something like Python? Further, I'd like the program to be cross platform and not Microsoft specific. ![]() The scope of my program is rather small, and having to install a large gaming library like DirectX or XNA seems like excessive. I'm wondering if there are any other options available. So far, I've learned that this can be done using either the XInput library from DirectX, or the Input framework in XNA. The input will then be sent wirelessly to an RC Helicopter that I am building. I'm writing a program that needs to take input from an XBox 360 controller. ![]()
