Just a general question, I purchased an Arduino Nano BLE 33 Sense thinking that it got Bluetooth onboard and I can find a way to connect a Bluetooth gamepad to it and then be able to read the inputs from the controller and use that to drive servos and motors. But after much googling and talking to ChatGTP, I am still unable to establish the connection and am wondering if it even is possible to do something like this.
IF it is, can someone please advise the best board and perhaps the library to do so? I can google the rest from there, lol
I am currently guessing its not and I will need to go the Raspberry Pi route for the robot I am building.
haha you would be surprised, sometimes he/she/it outputs code that does not work and when you paste in the errors it gives an an appolgy and then a code update that does! So you can just tell it is doing the same thing I would do manually:
google, read, find code example to use
see it doesnt work, then go to the forums to find out there was an update
utilize the update, bang head up against wall for a bit, and then tada, it compiles and works
wow nice find, I guess my googl'ing did not bring this up earlier, as I was not aware that the gamepads are HID devices. let me give it a try, thanks!!
Also validated that ArduinoBLE does not support HID devices.
Now I am googling the right stuff by searching for a BLE library with HID support, thanks a mil!!!
oh yeah, what tool did you use that was around that could auto-generate code for you, before ChatGTP? I dont recall anything like that back in my Computer Science class days
oh my bad, wrong person I am replying too. Sorry J-M-L I thought I was posting back to Paulpaulson. You are my nerdy forum roommate and have been a huge help, thanks so much!!
