If you want to control your Raspberry Pi by using an Xbox Controller, you can just use the following command in terminal. Please give feedback on whether it works for you on the forums. Controlling your Raspberry Pi with an Xbox controller.

#Ubuntu install xbox 360 controller drivers#

Writing drivers is tricky business, particularly for unsupported devices. Honestly, I'm not sure it'll work for everyone. See the following section for a difficult way to rebind the keys.

#Ubuntu install xbox 360 controller driver#

When CC disables, it unloads the chatpad driver and restarts the controller, allowing it to be used as normal in games.ДЄt the moment there isn't an easy way to rebind the keys.

The chatpad driver replaces the driver for the whole controller, meaning the games cannot read input from the controller anymore. Why can I not use the controller in games with Chatpad enabled? Also make sure to exit settings (pressing OK) after enabling the chatpad (or restart the app). The controller will turn off when ever you go from having the chatpad enabled to it being disabled.Д®ither you didn't unplug and replug your wireless receiver after installation, or the driver is still waiting for the chatpad initialize (this should not take more than 5-6 seconds). It's simply necessary to make sure Windows doesn't get into a bad state. Why does the controller turn off all the time? CC is exploiting the fact that it's possible to turn off the controller before switching driver when using a wireless driver to ensure that the Windows Xbox 360 Driver doesn't end up in a bad state. Switching between the chatpad driver and the normal controller driver causes issues on the wired controller. I understand this script is loaded relatively late in the booting process, so this can't be ideal.Why does the chatpad not work on Wired Xbox 360 Controllers

So to fix this I made some changes to /etc/rc.local (see above) and that works. # In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution # Make sure that the script will 'exit 0' on success or any other # This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel. # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded Most importantly however, you will need to get yourself a XBox wireless gaming receiver for Windows which I got included with my second controller. To begin with you will need to install the XBox kernel driver (already installed on Karmic).

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. My media PC currently runs Ubuntu Karmic with XBMC. I added it to /etc/modules like below, but it still isn't loaded. Also I need to load the uinput kernel module. What do I need to do to autostart the xboxdrv program (and leave it running) as root after booting? Your Xbox/Xbox360 controller should now be available as: xboxdrv/xboxdrv -id 0 -s -l 2 -dpad-as-button -deadzone 12000 Try to run 'rmmod xpad' and start xboxdrv again.

License GPLv3+: GNU GPL version 3 or later xboxdrv/xboxdrv -id 0 -s -l 2 -dpad-as-button -deadz one 12000 Somehow it needs root priviliges to work as this is what I get when I run as a normal.

xboxdrv -id 0 -s -l 2 -dpad-as-button -deadzone 12000 These are the commands I enter after every boot to load the driver (with Putty SSH client on Windows PC): Now what I want to do is have the driver loaded after boot without going into terminal or gaining access via SSH (like I do without leaving XBMC on the host PC). When I run the driver as root in terminal I can immediately use it in XBMC. So far I've successfully compiled the driver and mapped the keys in Keymap.xml for XBMC. I'm trying to enable the controller from boot and use it in XBMC. I've just finished installing the xboxdrv userspace driver ( ()) for Xbox 360 USB (wired) controller support.
