Controlling Whiptail with Controller Input 2019

[Dembered]

Hello everyone,,
I'm creating a online radio shell script using Whiptail for the GUI but I can not figure out how to get controller input working.

I've had a look at the source code for the Retropie-Setup but I'm having no luck.

Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Current progress: radio.sh
(Also please scrutinize my bash code, first time writing it)

Cheers,

[mitu]

There's no code attached ? Did you mean to provide a link to it ?

RetroPie uses a separate Python script that deals with gamepad handling (see here), but it relies on the mapping set-up already for RetroArch so it's not just a drop-in to be used in any script.

Do you already have RetroPie installed ?

@mitu Good point.

@Dembered I've created a small script that enables the control for Midnight Commander with joypads... --> Midnight Joy!
There you see the script invoked that mitu talked about.

Edit:

#Code Snipplet
#Path to script
readonly JOY2KEY_SCRIPTLOC="$HOME/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/helpers.sh"
#Key Config, 4xdpad, enter,F10,space,F9) --> change layout here
readonly CONFIG=(kcub1 kcuf1 kcuu1 kcud1 0x0a kf10 0x20 kf9)

# --------- JOYS ---------
# Import from RetroPie setup, uses joy2keyStart and joy2keyStop
# scriptdir is  used by joy2key
if [[ -f $JOY2KEY_SCRIPTLOC ]]; then
    source "$JOY2KEY_SCRIPTLOC"
    scriptdir="$HOME/RetroPie-Setup"
    joy2keyStart ${CONFIG[@]}
else
    echo "Can't import Joy2Key Script! Error!"
    echo "Script not found in: $JOY2KEY_SCRIPTLOC"
    sleep 5; exit 1
fi
