How to use Bluetooth Controllers with Python on Raspberry Pi
If you’ve used the RetroPie operating system before, you’ll know how easy it is to integrate USB and Bluetooth gamepads as controllers. But let’s say you’ve got a robot that you want to control with a joystick, or in my case, I’m building an LED Matrix to use for retro games and I want to use the awesome 8Bitdo controllers for it. Well, it’s not quite as simple as connecting it and watching the magic happen.
Fortunately, though, it’s a fairly straight forward process, and we’re going to walk through it step by step. It'll work with any Pi board with either Bluetooth or USB, but the Pi 3 and Pi Zero W make it especially easy.
