Playstation 4 Controller

Hi everyone,
I would like to control my milling machine with a PS4 controller. I found out that it works via USB. I would prefer to use the controller wirelessly.

Is there anyone who has already tried this or even implemented it successfully?

Thank you

Yes it is possible, both with usb and bluetooth.
At this link you can find an example with Logitech but it also works with PS4 controller through the hal_input function

This is for an xbox-360-controller, but I think the configuration is basically the same. (Just USB not wireless)

That's an interesting idea to use a PS4 controller to control a milling machine wirelessly. I haven't tried it myself, but it sounds like a creative solution. If you're able to get it working, it would be great if you could share your experience and any tips you have. I'm sure others would be interested in learning how to implement something similar. Best of luck with your project!
