Xbox Controller?

ScottieDo555 · #1 07-01-2008, 15:52

Our team this year wanted to use a Xbox 360 controller to controll the robot. i was wondering if theres any tutorials online or if any one knows how to install an Xbox 360 controller to work with the IR board.

The 360 Controller doesn't use IR.

If you want to use the Xbox controller you'll need to use a Chicklet.

It very easy to setup. You can have it up and running 10-15 min.

EDIT: This would not use IR. It would connect directly to OI.

Would it be feasible to use a wireless Xbox 360 Racing wheel with the chicklet, plugging in the usb wireless receiver into the chicklet? and allowing the wheel to connect that way?

as long as there are no batteries in the controller, you should be ok. u also need the chicklet as said above.

I don't think it is supported by the chicklet, and even if it is I don't believe it would be legal, since I don't believe you are allowed to have other wireless devices connected to the OI or robot. Sorry, I don't have the rule to quote. Also the battery issue mentioned above.

Funny... I saw a team last year use a 360 controller and a Guitar Hero controller to lower and raise their lift, and control other functions

MDodge27 · #8 08-01-2008, 19:35

our team is interested in using an xbox 360 controller too. i think a guitar hero controller is just stupid.

I THink that is a good idea but why complicate things?

razor95kds · #10 08-01-2008, 21:24

we might consider using a rockband drumset for control of the arm

I would play claw on the 360 controller.

Super Nintendo controller maybe?

I had the feeling that guy was sarcastic, I don't know about you...

kevin.li.rit · #14 17-01-2008, 16:28

What do you think the advantage is? I don't think there really is one... Maybe it saves you space?

Umm..not really a silly idea at all. a lot of teams have done it.
