I think this is an Ekos question - please shout if not.. StellarMate on a Pi4.

I have an xbox controller (bluetooth) that I would like to use to control my EQMOd mount.

I've seen the tutorial at indilib.org/support/tutorials/135-contro...with-a-joystick.html but it's nearly a decade old (which may be fine? I have no idea if things have changed) and seems to start with the joystick already being hooked up and happy. I've seen a bunch of articles on getting an xbox controller onto a pi but they all want you to install xboxdrv, which my pi says does not exist.

The pi and the controller do see each other.. I turn on the controller and the pi BT icon starts flashing but the controller LED just flashes for a minute then goes stops.

Anybody have a walk-thru on how to get this going from scratch or some tips?? I seem to just be going in circles.. :\

TY!
