Usb Controller

@DJ Sures

I want to know whether or not the USB controller control my robot through ARC or SDK?

do any special drivers need to be installed in order to use xbox controllers on the pc?

Not with Windows 7 or above. There are issues with the second analogue stick and the LT and RT buttons, from memory stick 2 left & right is crossed with the LT and RT triggers and the guide button isn't recognised but other than that everything is fine.

It's pretty much plug and play.

If it's wired, no problem. If it's wireless, you have to buy an adapter.

The links show wired and the description states USB so therefore assumes wired:)

The wireless MS dongle also doesn't require special drivers, it is exactly the same other than not having a wire between controller and PC.

I have no idea for special drivers, since I still do not buy it. I want to know go head whether or not.

I received update mail you sent, I have patient enough to wait and I understand the problems right now in the company.

I just want to know the controller above link whether or not control my favorite Roli in the future. So I hope you can give me a suggestion.

By the way, Chinese new year they have one week holiday. Not 3 weeks, do not worry.

Thank you for your hard work. I am still waiting my Roli.

Again, yes it will work and no special drivers are required. The only issues are those as posted in post #4
