Simulink-XInput-Controller

Simulink Block / S-Function for Windows XInput API (XBOX Controller)

This repo includes 'Level 2 C++ MEX S-Functions' to create Simulink Blocks for Inputs based on Microsoft XInput API. This Includes XBOX 360 and XBOX ONE Controllers (Gamepads).

2 S-Functions

• XInput_Controller_SFun (fast execution time)
• XInput_Controller_SFun_Feedback (slow execution, Controller Vibration implemented)

4 Simulink Demo Models

• XInput_Controller_SFun Demo Model
• XInput_Controller_SFun_Feedback Demo Model
• XInput_Controller_SFun Masked Demo Model -- includes masked Simulink Block with persitent Image for copy&paste
• XInput_Controller_SFun_Feedback Masked Demo Model -- includes masked Simulink Block with persitent Image for copy&paste

Advanteges over 'Joystick Input' (VRJoystick) Block:

• Independent 3rd/4th Axes (meaning left/right Trigger dont cancel each other)
• Access to both XBOX Controller Vibration Motors
• Access to Battery Information (Wireless Only)
• XInput has wide support on Windows Devices (Gampads, Wheels ..)

Tested on Windows 10 1903.

Tested with XBOX ONE Controller via Bluetooth and Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows 10
