A simple nodebot controlled by a gamepad.

The movement of the bot is mapped to the right stick of a Sony DualShock 3 controller. To quit, press the circle button.

The script assumes that your pins are used in the following manner:

• Left Motor
  • pwm: pin 5
  • direction: pin 4
• Right Motor
  • pwm: pin 3
  • direction: pin 2

By default the PWM is inverted.

Make sure to plug in your controller and arduino to your computer. It's possible that you'll have to adjust the controller bindings, since the used ones are for a Sony DualShock 3.
