This is great I gotta build a submarine with this and then go down to the titanic! What could go wrong?

[@engr.inigo.silva2000]

Thank you so much, this video has been a tremendous help.

[@KanePat]

Thanks Kevin, this code will be useful for my next music project. You really explain things very well. I hope to do a robot project this year for halloween special effects using this code as well.

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Thanks!!

Hi umm excuse me but where are we actually using the joysticks array other than the initialization?
Since the robot isn't a multiplayer application can't we just do *pygame.joystick.Joystick(0).init()* instead since we're just using a single controller?

[@Victorwong27]

greatt video, helps a lot

I’ve always had a lot of trouble when using HC-05 Bluetooth with Arduino when it comes to setting master and slave. It looks like Rasberry Pi could solve a lot of unnecessary problems like these.

[@daudhtm5203]

yea same the hc 05 is so annoying

[@thomazzzzi]

Hi Kevin. Can you also get analog values from the joystick instead of binary?
Thanks

[@frohenleid]

i am very late but yes! simply keep a float = event.value and then out put it as a string.
I did it like:
v = event.value
v = str(v)
print(v)

[@alexd7466]

Nice, but I always have to connect/pair after reboot. Do you have a script that allows to just connect when the controller is started?

[@fouzanjaved5441]

Sir, can you make a video on youtube on how to make an Arduino Xbox-controlled 4-dof robotic arm car using the wireless USB gaming receiver adapter for the Microsoft Xbox 360 controller, and can you give me the circuit diagram and the code for the Arduino Xbox-controlled 6-dof robotic arm car using the wireless USB gaming receiver adapter for the Microsoft Xbox 360 controller?

[@daudhtm5203]

bruh y would he do everything for you.

[@alexdev404]

Beginners always asking for too much and never wanting to actually learn anything.

[@alexdev404]

Nobody gonna spoon-feed you.

[@teltowfamily2223]

can you use a xbox series s controller for this?

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Yes that should work fine

[@jesusarriaga303]

How use the Xbox controller with Arduino?

[@DorfyBoi]

can we please stop using bluetooth directly on the robot?? I so badly wanna control a machine over ethernet on a network. cant find any good tutorials on this

[@kevinmcaleer28]

Well this video wasn’t about using Ethernet to control a robot - what kind of tutorial are you looking for; what information are you missing?
