Controlling Whiptail with Controller Input


  • Hey everyone, I'm new here!

    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,

    Arran

    The RetroPie-Setup scripts use a helper script - joy2key - to navigate and enable buttons in dialog enabled scripts. Take a look here to see how it's started/stopped. You can source the RetroPie-Setup helper.sh or copy the functions you need from it in order to use it in your script.
