If in the same sketch I leave the code from your example that allows me to vibrate the controller using buttons L2 and R2, that functionality still works flawlessly – no appearance of “Xbox 360 Controller Connected”
As I continue to shake the accelerometer, this message might appear many times. As I shake the accelerometer and data reaches the 2560 as I can see through the Serial monitor, I have observed that most of the time there’s a delay where the controller does nothing, and then a message will appear:Īfter that, the controller starts to vibrate. I use tRumbleOn and the values I pass this function are always between 0 and 255. The data is sent from an accelerometer attached to arduino uno. I made a few modifications to the code and started sending data over xbee into the mega2560 through it’s first auxiliary serial port, (Serial1). Not even if I pull and release the buttons very rapidly. When I pull buttons L2 and R2, the controller vibrates the intensity corresponds to how much the buttons are depressed. The usb shield is mounted on an arduino mega 2560 with your library included and running the XBOX360USB example sketch.
Hi Kristian, I’ve been playing with the usb shield with the xbox360 controller connected. Also it is much easier to reroute the pins as the official one got solder jumpers. You CAN use the Sparkfun shield, but I will always recommend the official shield, so you support the development and then you can also use the shield with other Arduinos than the Uno, Duemilanove etc. Also since the reset pin is connected to the Arduino reset pin on the official shield, you also got another pin there.
įurthermore the library doesn’t use the GPX pin from the MAX3421E, so you can actually just bend pin 8 on the shield so you can use pin 8 for other purposes. You can compare it with the official shield. You could either modify the shield, so it get’s power directly from the Arduino’s 5V pin, or you could connect the Arduino to a external powersupply.
The problem with the Sparkfun shield is that it has a external 5V regulator on the shield connected to VIN, so you need to power the Arduino from more than 5V, so you can’t not power it from USB if the device need a voltage level close to 5V.
