bluepad32 VS ArduinoJoystickLibrary

Details about the project here: https://gitlab.com/ricardoquesada/bluepad32

You could look into the Bluepad32 library. It defines the boards and controllers it supports.

At least for Bluepad32, they specifically do not support any ESP32 variants and I'm not aware of any others that do.

This library might be useful to you. I plan to use it for a similar purpose, but my remote is broken, so I need to get myself a new one before I can fully verify that the library works

Maybe check out bluepad32 and use a common gaming console controller?

The firmware is here: https://github.com/ricardoquesada/bluepad32

I'm at a good point with the code and the hardware, but I ran into this issue where the library says that you can define up to 2 hat switches, and I need to use both and here's the problem.

I have a project where I want to turn a hall sensor Apem joystick into a PTZ-controller in OBS to control cameras in a live stream. I am using this library: https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary

I would use a joystick-library like https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary

I used the joystick library for arduino https://github.com/MHeironimus/ArduinoJoystickLibrary. Very easy to code, especially following this video. You can also map other types, such as x, y, z axis, rudder, accelerator, plus buttons. I'm planning to add a TO/GA button and AP/ATHR disengage buttons.

Yep, my bad. I got confused with the numbers. Also, did some googling and from what I can see here even though you can map more than 32 buttons the default Windows joystick tester won't display them.

This example might help you get you started. You can't directly "assign" a pin to an axis with this library. However, you can approach it a couple different ways.
