Description

This page gives instructions on how to build a robot capable of being controlled via an Xbox One controller over bluetooth. Both the controller and the mbed robot are connected to the COM ports of a separate computer using bluetooth. A C# program utilizing the DirectInput libraries is then used as a middleman to interpret and relay the inputs from the controller to the robot using RPC commands.
