I want to control my ev3 with an Xbox series controller

You can control your LEGO EV3 with an Xbox Series controller using the brick controller 2 app, but connecting the controller directly to the EV3 requires more advanced skills. The user, /u/benjmpotat0, is seeking guidance on how to directly connect their controller to their EV3, as they have experience with ev3dev but are unsure how to proceed.

The user has discovered that the brick controller 2 app allows control of LEGO Powered Up hubs with an Xbox controller. They've also seen examples of people directly connecting controllers to their EV3s. However, they lack experience with Python and haven't found tutorials on how to achieve this direct connection. They've successfully installed ev3dev but are unsure of the next steps.

Directly connecting an Xbox Series controller to an EV3 likely involves programming using Python, which can be complex for beginners. The user's current progress indicates they've set up the necessary environment with ev3dev, but they need further guidance on the coding aspects to map controller inputs to EV3 actions.

For those interested in exploring this project, consider researching Python programming for robotics and LEGO EV3. You might also find helpful resources on online forums or communities dedicated to LEGO robotics. If you're new to programming, you might want to start with simpler projects before attempting to connect a controller directly. You may also want to get a LEGO EV3 Education Core Set to start.
