Hi

I was wondering.

Is there a easy way to connect a gamepad to the mbed board and use it to control something ( like servos or motors ) ?

I will soon be publishing my project. It uses an XBox360 wired USB gamepad as it's main input method using the LPC17xx USB Host port.

It drives a Nexstar GOTO telescope mount but also has outputs for stepper motor driver boards. It's not rocket sceince to extend it to controlling dc servos etc.

I'll update this forum post when I publish it.

That would be great Andy.

The USB gamepad as main input is what I'm missing.

Thanks
