Interfacing Multiple Hardware with a PS4 Bluetooth Controller
Posted: Fri Nov 05, 2021 8:06 am
Hello all,
I am in a group for my senior capstone mechanical engineering group and our project involves controlling a cart that has two DCM4110_0 BLDC motors from phidget which are controlled by one DCC1100_0 motor controller and one HUB0000_0.
We are writing the code in Python via the PyCharm IDE. The goal for the cart is to hardcode runtimes for the motors to follow a certain path, i.e. run for 5 seconds straight, turn right and go for 2 seconds, etc.
For the second half of the functionality for the code, we would like to connect a PS4 Controller via Bluetooth to correct the final position of the cart.
I am looking for guidance on a Bluetooth module that would allow me to do this and also if anyone knows of any Python modules that may be of help that is relevant to interfacing Bluetooth with Phidgets. I just need to be pointed in the right direction.
Thank you all in advance.
