Wireless Controller Recommendations?

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Greetings. I was researching about certain controllers to use for my first ez-robot project (I'm going to try and experiment with my own version of DJ's modified Wall-E). I'm new to the subject of robotics so I might need some guidance. I have some specific questions:

1) Does the ARC program use bluetooth or just wifi connection?

2) When searching for a decent and good working controller what are some things to look for? (Any recommendations)?

3) Does it matter if you buy a bluetooth wireless controller or a non-bluetooth wireless controller and will it affect how ARC reads and configures commands correctly?

4) Depending on which console the controller is made for, would the console matter and would it affect how the robot functions correctly? (A peer at school told me PC controllers work better when used for robots? Just need a confirmation if that is necessarily true.)

Your answers will be greatly appreciated and I look forward to learning more. Thanks:)


ARC Pro

Upgrade to ARC Pro

ARC Pro is more than a tool; it's a creative playground for robot enthusiasts, where you can turn your wildest ideas into reality.

  1. Yes. that is why I mentioned in post #5 that you can use the Xbox 360 headset if you go that route.

Can you use an xbox one wireless controller with ARC

So I got it to work but the dpad on the xbox one controller does not show as buttons also the triggers are considered a joystick 2 y axis.

dpad isn't buttons. that's how the xbox controller is configured.
