Tightly controlling your Hunter during your 23rd attempt at taking out the Capra Demon, wearing as little as possible to get the best rolls, wielding a sword forged from material forged from [spoiler] endless arrows shot at [spoiler] under the [spoiler], is the best time to have a perfectly operating game controller. Also handy when you’re working with your Raspberry Pi. Here’s more on hackster.io from Team SaraKIT: Artur Majtczak, Maciek Matuszewski:
Welcome to a practical and fun way to control your Raspberry Pi projects using an Xbox One controller (or other bluetooth pad)! This project emerged from the desire to offer an intuitive and interactive method for steering devices like the “RC Car – Lego Powered by Raspberry PI with SaraKIT” and the “Self-Balancing Lego Robot, ” as well as managing complex camera systems like “Pan-Tilt” or “Turret Base.”
The idea began when I noticed that while many enjoy the technical aspects of Raspberry Pi projects, the interface for interacting with these devices often lacks the direct and tactile response that a game controller offers. Recognizing the potential to enhance user experience, I set out to create a straightforward integration that allows anyone with an Xbox One controller to jump straight into controlling their projects.
