USB\VID_24C6&PID_592A
It's the PowerA Spectra Enhanced Illuminated Wired Controller for Xbox One, X and Xbox One S - Xbox One
I see the VID, but not the PID, so I guess I need another controller, or is there a way to change this or add it somehow? I picked this controller because a few reviewers said the triggers and joysticks are more accurate, but I'm not really tied to it. The controller lights do not come on when I plug into a power outlet, so seems it needs some communication before the lights turn on.
I was also scanning the code on the USB Host Shield examples, and now I'm not sure if it even recognizes a potentiometer or force signal from the controller. For LT and RT it just calls it a button

But the PS3 does state to get analog signal from L2 and R2, so maybe that's my answer

And Railroader, I did build a control box, seems to work good although it's just clunky and is not easy to hold/operate...hence the rabbit hole leading me to ps/xbox controller. The crane has manual hydraulic levers, but don't work well (some functions are only servo actuated), and my little joystick box has way way more precision, the levers are just intended as a backup.
I supposed I could do a "control station", but the problem with that, for me at least, is I need to have easy control as close to the work as possible, since I'll either be working alone or at best one other person (and you can bet that if I have one other person, they're not likely to be reliable enough to be on either end of the operation).
As for a little background, I was a mechanical, then welding engineer...quit to move to the mountains, started a contracting/renovation business (have renovated 4 of my own houses prior). Have built large 2-story decks and several additions by myself, so I'm no stranger to this stuff. semi-skilled labor is almost non-existent around here, so the crane will be my crew. Pandemic hit, stopped contracting, wife started a new business, I'm at home with the kids staring at a crane trying to thick up ways to make my life easier once I can actually start building our house.
