Rpi3 with Xbox One Controller

Siegfried

Hi everyone!

I am trying to pair my Xbox One controller to my Raspberry Pi 3 to control a robot that I am currently assembling. My controller (model 1537) doesnt have a bluetooth, and I have the latest version of the Wireless Adapter. And they both work totally fine on my Windows 10.

However the adapter LED doesnt light up when I plug it into the USB slot of my RPi. First I was suspcious of the USB slot is not powerful enough, so I set the maximum output current from the config file of the RPi, still no good.

I have been searching this issue for a long time, and frequently the lsusb output and the /proc/bus/input/devices outputs are requested, you can see them below.

I can see the dongle in lsusb output, however its not appearing in the 2nd section. I honestly dont know how to add this device there.

Have you done this before? Could you connect it? Please dont tell me its not possible since I had to pay lots of money just for a USB dongle :P

Thanks a lot in advance,

It probably needs a driver - see https://github.com/medusalix/xow for such a driver.
