There is a "Table of index number of /joy.buttons:" for the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Linux, but not for the Microsoft Xbox One Bluetooth Controller for Linux.

Where can I find such a Table or the steps necessary to create such a Table?

Regards, TCIII

Hi @TCIII:

I believe if you install: sudo apt-get install ros-noetic-joy should work with Xbox One.

To test your joystick, check the tutorial: http://wiki.ros.org/joy/Tutorials/Con...

In Linux:

ls /dev/input/  #to check if Linux detecting input
sudo jstest /dev/input/jsX  #replace X with your joystick number such as joy0 or joy1
ls -l /dev/input/jsX   #test the joystick

In ROS:

rosparam set joy_node/dev "/dev/input/jsX"
rosrun joy joy_node
rostopic echo joy

Take a look at this example of implementation: https://github.com/2788west/cerusbot/... https://johanschwind.medium.com/mobil...

The Xbox One controller has slight changes in the button naming convention compared to the Xbox 360 version.

Check this link for the table: https://ritchielozada.com/2016/01/16/...

I believe the wiki link needs to be updated with this info.

@osilva, Thanks for the response, much appreciated. I am controlling an Arlobot robot with a MS Xbox One Bluetooth gamepad in place of a Xbox 360 wireless controller and it works for me, however I would like to change some of the key hex codes in the xbox .yaml file to suit the Xbox One better. That was the reason I was wondering if there was a ready made Xbox One "Table of index number" or the steps required to build one. I assume that the output of jstest for the Xbox One is used to generate a "Table of index number"? TCIII

Hi @TCIII the last link has a table that you can use, I compared it to the wiki link and they are very similar.
