Hi,

I have just purchased a DFRobot Romeo V2 to drive two DC brushed motors.

I wanted to be able to use a gamepad controller, such as the xbox,PS2 or logitech F510 rumble gamepad, to be able to control these two motors with tank drive style control.

I have bought a PS2 breakout board and USB breakout board.

I am fairly sure it is possible with a PS2 controller, I will have a go soon and let you know how it works.

However, does anyone know if it possible with a USB controller? (Logitech F510 Rumble Gamepad) I'd prefer to wire it straight to the microcontroller, and not via the PC.

Regards,

Not to use the USB, you need a USB host to interface with USB device (mouse, game controller, keyboard, etc). And also the correct driver to communicate, not easy, is possible

About PS2, you should check how to interface with it directly, because it is not direct digital buttons from the joystick Better use SKPS from Cytron. I have been using SKPS for projects and works fine for me.
