how to use ps3 physical joystick.md

on your pi

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tawnkramer/donkey/dev-mainline/donkeycar/parts/controllers/joystick.py
cp joystick.py ~/d2/

now edit ~/d2/manage.py

near the top, add a

import joystick

then comment out the local web controller, and add the line:

ctr = joystick.JoystickPilot(max_throttle=0.3)
#ctr = dk.parts.LocalWebController()

if this is too sensitive, try making max_throttle smaller. like 0.2 or 0.1

Update: The joystick part is integrated into donkey mainline now. No need to do this. Check docs for setup. https://github.com/wroscoe/donkey/tree/master/docs

on the standard donkey platform, 30% was a bit too fast for me so I tried 20% but it was too slow and even stopped on a bump. 25% was juuuuust right.

Tawn, how do we pair the PS3 controller with the RPI3 in the first place so then we can use your code ;-)?

Thank you,

Well, here is what found that it seems what I need.

Tawn, the wget is not working. Did you change the file locations by any chance?
