XBox 360 Wireless use analog function of triggers

[svartbart]

Hi, I like to use the analog triggers of the controller for acceleration and break. The idea is to remap this axis to the y-axis of the right joystick. I can get I to work as a switch.

Do you have any advice how I could solve the problem?

Best regards

@Zing thanks for your posts.
I did not manage to figure out how to change the

input_l2_btn = "6"
input_r2_btn = "7"

in the file Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver.cfg to any kind of analog items to remap them to the right stick?

All I can find aside the links above are decrepated links leading to github.

Do anyone know if the correct name of the analog equivalent to input_x2_btn?

Thank you in advance!

Would it help to switch to a PS4 controller?

@svartbart What is your hardware?
What's your version of Recalbox (say the version, don't say "the last one")?
Did you build your Recalbox yourself, or download a ready-made image from the internet, or did you buy everything ready?

@Zing The Version is 7.1.1-Reloaded
It is running on a Pi4 4GB. I flashed the SD card with Raspberry Pi Imager and the pretended image for Pi 4 / Pi 400.

Shall I flash an image from the website?

That does not seem to be the problem.

in the file Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver.cfg

What file is that? It is not this file that the tutorials tell you to edit, please read the tutorials again, if you edit the wrong file, you can make the situation worse.

I don't have this joystick, and I can't test it, I would follow the tutorials first, and, you can search YouTube for some videos on the subject, there are several unofficial videos.

Maybe I did not discribe my problem adequate.
I´d like to use my triggers as analog inputs.
At the moment they act like switches.

All I saw on YT was old, 2017 earlier.

For example the guy in the video is doing the first keymapping.
Time: 1:36 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6uM5GJoU3w
The left trigger (L2) is showing as AXIS 2+, mine is showing as button 6.

All the things I read (date around 2015) were the other way round. They were about special options for the driver xboxdrv to force the triggers as switches.
I can´t find anything about driveroptions in the tutorials.

Or did I miss here something?

Thank you really for your effort!

@svartbart Well, in the video you quote, the user does not make any specific settings, he just maps the Xbox 360 joystick.
To use the Xbox joystick, you need a receiver, are you using an original receiver? (in the video it appears to be the original)

You are looking for configurations that existed in the past and are no longer needed today.

The settings that may help you in the recalbox.conf file are:

# -------------- D - Controllers ----------------- #
# Enable support for standard bluetooth controllers
controllers.bluetooth.enabled=1
# Enable ERTM
controllers.bluetooth.ertm=1

You can try to disable ertm by changing the value of this line to 0:

controllers.bluetooth.ertm=0

But, no other user claims problems like the one you have, so I don't know if that will solve it (and I can't test it, because I don't have that type of joystick).

Have you at least tried what is proposed in this topic that I quoted above?
