I would like to add support for the Elite Controller, unfortunately I do not own the necessary hardware. If someone is interested in crowdfunding one, take a look at the top of the landing page: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/blob/master/docs/README.md

UPDATE: FUNDED

Hey!, I just stumbled upon your driver for the Xbox One controllers, thank you for your work. By the way, I would like to support your effort for the Elite controller compatibility, do you have other means to donate to you?.

You are welcome :grin:

Oh thanks! Any suggestions? I would prefer some service that makes it possible to show the public who donated something over somehow anonymous donations. To each saint his candle :wink:

There's Patreon, Indiegogo, Eliopay, Ko-fi.

Received a 12€ donation by Yu-Jen S. (username: freehaha)! Thank you very much!

atar-axis commented 5 years ago

Someone who wants to stay anonymous donated a rather expensive coffee for this project - I can now buy the necessary hardware and will start development withing the next weeks. Thank you to everyone who donated!

Bad news. The XBOX One ELITE Wireless controller arrived and I immediately tried to connect it via bluetooth. And guess what? It does not have a bluetooth interface...

The XBOX Wireless Controller was the one with bluetooth - so I thought, and an E3 interview I watched strengthened that assumption, that the XBOX ELITE Wireless controller has Bluetooth too. But I was wrong.

So the only way to connect it to the PC is via the Wireless Dongle.

I would like to keep it and continue working on the Wireless Dongle support, once finished - which will definitely take a while or two (if even possibile) - I will add the Elite Controller too.

What that means is that the Elite support will take a lot longer than thought. If any of you, who donated for the Elite controller, wants the money back: please tell me within a week or two.

It uses raw 802.11 frames to communicate with PC and Xbox and its dongle is just an MT7612U Wi-Fi dongle which only has USB 2.0 interface. (actually, mt76 driver can use it as Wi-Fi dongle with appropriate firmware...)

atar-axis commented 5 years ago

@perillamint: Take a Look at the Dongle Section here: https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo/wiki

And: The mt76 is already able to use the Dongle for regular wifi, without a transmitted firmware, right? :wink:
