If you have a specific question, feel free to post it as a comment.įor the sake of completeness, it must be said that moving the joystick to the rear right or rear left has no associated movement, since I did not need it.

Since the code is pretty self-describing, I won’t go into it here. If the joystick is in the middle (x = y = 0), the robot should stop, otherwise it should move in the specified direction. The actual movement takes place in the moveByAxis function. If the button is not pressed, we want to control the robot with the help of the left joystick. In our case, pressing the A button is supposed to stop the robot (even if the joystick is moved).
Here we can call up certain functions if a key has been pressed. The xboxControl function is used to manage the keystrokes/movements of the joystick from the controller. Save and exit with CTRL + O and CTRL + X. To do this, we edit them and add the two import commands to the code at the beginning. We include this (and the math) library in our main file. To do this, we first load this file into our robot folder: cd robot/ To recognize the signals, we use the same library that was used in the previous tutorial. In the video I hung the adapter over the front of the ultrasonic “eyes”, which may not be the best choice if the automatic obstacle detection is to be retained ? The placement does not matter, since no visual infrared signals but radio signals are sent and received. Since the cable of the adapter is quite long, I would not even remove the enclosed rubber or wind the cable up again if necessary. The only important thing is that your Xbox controller should be recognized and ready before you continue. You can skip the example steps as well as using it as a mouse. In the tutorial “ Control your Raspberry Pi by using a wireless Xbox 360 controller“, the installation and some tests to determine whether the controller was recognized is explained in detail. For instance, if you have a micro USB connector on your phone or tablet, youll want to get a USB OTG (On The Go) adapter to use a wired Xbox 360 controller.
