Tank controlled by PS5 controller

[flint moon]

Using some hacky knowledge, i wrote a CC program to control a tank with a ps5 controller.
The tank is nothing special, just a pair of treads controlled with CC and rotation speed controllers.

The clientside code (in computercraft) simply recieves the button and axis states of the controller, does some math on it, and then uses it to control the tank.

The serverside code reads the joystick state and sends it to CC with a websocket.
Please forgive my godawful code. this is my first successful websocket experiment.
The nature of this experiment means that it only runs on linux. windows users will have to write something in python or some other language to achieve the same result.

The server runs on luvit. i am not willing to help you troubleshoot if you wish to run this code yourself.

The serverside code presented runs on an amalgamation of example code and my own limited lua knowledge.
No AI was used in the making of this program

Love how this looks

now make a submarine controlled by a ps5 controller

Me when tweaked controllers

hm?

[paper bison]

Its a mod that adds a linked controller with xbox/ps controller compat

[flint moon]

would've been nice to know about

but this has full analog support

[paper bison]

This too well at least with the joysticks

And divided by 15 (redstone strength)

[flint moon]

mine is divided by 65535

When used on a lectern as a peripheral, tweaked controllers can have the full axis resolution as well

Tweaked controllers has support for full 32 bit float analog inputs, tho most controllers only output 16 bit integers lol

But yeah tweaked controllers allows you do do that in game
its still a cool thing to code, great job

Oh also, it fixes create blocks breaking when they are updated too many times (Im saying this because you probably have encountered it if you tried changing speed too quickly)

Seriously impressive
