RADU: Adding a Custom Remote Controller
The great article "Talking to gamepads from Python" explains step-by-step how a joystick or game controller is registered in Linux and how to systematically build a controller scheme. It starts by connecting the controller (see the section before) and accessing the controller with the generic HID interface via a library such as hidapi: Enumerate the API, note the controller ID, and access it. Here is a simple code example:

RADU: Controlling Robot Movements with a Gamepad Controller using Python
My robot RADU is a two wheeled robot that combines custom hardware for the sensor and motor, a Raspberry Pico and L293D motor shield, and a purchasable robotic arm that is controlled via a Raspberry Pi shield. For both parts of the robot, I want to use the same control mechanism and device: A game controller. To reach this goal, the last article gave an overview about the different libraries. This article is a tutorial about writing the controller software. You will learn how to use the Python library Piborg Gamepad, and how to bridge pressed buttons or joystick to control the robots wheel movements and its arm.

RADU: Adding a Custom Remote Controller
The final library is Piborg Gamepad. This library focuses on gamepad for video game consoles. It provides custom mappings for controllers with concrete button names, and it can simultaneously read the values of all gamepad axis (this is e.g. the digital pad and analog stick on a PlayStation pad). This library also supports two different programming model: You can define a global state that will be updated continuously in the background, or define event listeners that are processed when a button is pressed that trigger. The only caveat: The last commit is from 2019. Here is an example:
