Hi Folks,

Jasem did an excellent job to explain how to use a Playstation Controller with Indi. 

Only one hint to make life even more easier: before you can use Jasem's tutorial you need to install the PS4 driver onto the raspberry (Astroberry, Stellarmate should work as well):

Type in terminal:

<code> sudo pip install ds4drv </code>

The Python and pip things seem to be installed already.

After this you can use Jasem's tutorial all the way.

It works perfectly on my side... but... as usual I have something to ask for:

As far as I know Alain wrote the INDI driver for onstep and some buttons of the controller can be used.

We have plenty of buttons, axis, and joysticks on the PS4 controller. Would it be possible to use some more of them?

Wishlist:
2 buttons or joystick for focusing (unfortunately the focuser is in the onstep-mount driver included; no chance to define more buttons here)
2 buttons for focuser speed

(Sorry for the german, I am still fighting to get it back to English).

Is there any chance to get this?

if anyone shows me where to start, I would like to try it myself.

Cheers,

Karsten
