Automatic Controller Pairing
-
Hey folks, its me again.
I am currently working on a new module for me that checks for pairable gamepads nearby and tries to pair and connect them. I wanna have this for myself since I find it highly annoying to manually pair 192 controllers when I set up a new machine.
What the script does is it checks if
emulationstation
is running. If so, every 10 seconds, it usesbluetoothctl
to scan for devices. Then it checks if the device has certain properties that makes it look like a gamepad (for the 1 person here who really wants to know,bluetoothctl info
gives back a list of properties the device has, I am looking forIcon: input-gaming
in it, which tells for example android to display a gamepad icon as bluetooth icon).I wanna hear your thoughts on this. Is that something that bothers you too? Do you have any concerns regarding this?
