On the software side, I downloaded the latest version of USB 2.0 from Oleg here: THANKS OLEG! You'll also need power for the motor controller. Running the XBOX controller takes more than the USB can provide. Power: The USB shield will require you to power the Arduino from additional power, not just the USB cable. Until then, this is an example that works, so if you want to test with this exactly code, you'll need the Adafruit board.ģ.

I plan to use PWM control, possibly through an Adafruit i2c board and when I get that coded I'll update this thread. Just ignore the actual syntax if you're planning to set up another kind of motor control signal and substitute your own. For my test environment I'm using the Adafruit motor controller board which is not going to be my final configuration. That stinks and for that reason I don't recommend this shield, but it's what I had to do.Ģ. Since I got the Sparkfun USB shield, I had to jumper from RST>D7. So to get it to work for me I had to do a few things. Once I figure out the wireless setup I'll post code for that. They also have another one that uses up to 4 wireless XBOX controllers and the XBOX USB Dongle, but I couldn't get that one working on my setup yet, so this is the wired version. I think they set themselves a task of being able to read any of the codes that come in, but the way it was set up (with delays and stuff) meant that it wasn't practical for realtime control of anything, especially if you set up lots of buttons (and BTW- you can use combo buttons too, like a control or shift key). The default code that they send for the XBOXUSB from the shield 2.0 repository didn't work for me. Get some motors turning based on that input so that I know it's reacting in real time without any lag or hiccups. Get it working to verify that I could read codes directly from an XBOX controller via an Arduino and send it somewhere.Ģ. 01 or something like that because it's just a test and my goal was twofold:ġ. OK, as promised, I'm posting some code that actually works here.

I'll post a sketch once I iron out the rough spots in the code and I'll leave comments for people to find where they should add stuff and how to add it. I'm not 100% sure which way I will go yet, but it's really cool to have this option. So it looks like this will work once I merge in the code I had from my previous setup. I didn't try for long though so I'm sure it's a minor issue (Different sketches are used: XBOXUSB and XBOXRECV) I only got it working with one gamepad on the first attempt and the wireless one never linked up. I did notice that the way they have the code it kind of hangs a bit for the 'force feedback' message and also I need to try to get it to work with the wireless dongle.
Once I found that little trick it worked fine. You need a jumper from D7RST pin on the shield for it to work. I bought the shield from Sparkfun and it seems that their version of the USB host shield requires a bit of a 'hack'. OK, so I got the USB host shield wired up and working with an XBOX 360 controller.
