Connect your bluetooth controller to the raspberry pi. See the Bluetooth section below. Install the parts python package. Import the part at the top of your manage.py script. If you are using a PS4 controller, import PS4JoystickController instead. If you are using an XBox One controller, import XBoxOneJoystickController instead. Same applies in the next step. Replace the controller part of your manage.py to use the JoysticController part, constructing either a PS3JoystickController, PS4JoystickController or XBoxOneJoystickController depending on your controller. Add the required config paramters to your config.py file. It should look something like this. Now you're ready to run the python manage.py drive --js command to start your car.
Connect your bluetooth controller to the raspberry pi. See the Bluetooth section below.
Install the parts python package. pip install git+https://github.com/autorope/donkeypart_ps3_controller.git
Import the part at the top of your manage.py script. If you are using a PS4 controller, import PS4JoystickController instead. If you are using an XBox One controller, import XBoxOneJoystickController instead. Same applies in the next step. from donkeypart_ps3_controller import PS3JoystickController
Replace the controller part of your manage.py to use the JoysticController part, constructing either a PS3JoystickController, PS4JoystickController or XBoxOneJoystickController depending on your controller. ctr = PS3JoystickController( throttle_scale=cfg.JOYSTICK_MAX_THROTTLE, steering_scale=cfg.JOYSTICK_STEERING_SCALE, auto_record_on_throttle=cfg.AUTO_RECORD_ON_THROTTLE ) V.add(ctr, inputs=['cam/image_array'], outputs=['user/angle', 'user/throttle', 'user/mode', 'recording'], threaded=True)
Add the required config paramters to your config.py file. It should look something like this. #JOYSTICK JOYSTICK_STEERING_SCALE = 1.0 AUTO_RECORD_ON_THROTTLE = True
Now you're ready to run the python manage.py drive --js command to start your car.
See the specific section below for PS3, PS4 or XBox One controller. Follow this guide. You can ignore steps past the 'Accessing the SixAxis from Python' section. I will include steps here in case the link becomes stale. Reboot after changing the user group.
edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/xbox_bt.conf (that may create the file; it is commonly not there by default)
add the line: options bluetooth disable_ertm=1
reboot so that this takes affect.
after reboot you can verify that disable_ertm is set to true entering this command oin a terminal: cat /sys/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm
the result should print 'Y'. If not, make sure the above steps have been done correctly.
