Pre-requisites / References
- Stadia controller must be switched to Bluetooth mode. Follow the instructions here.
- Connect the controller to the Raspberry Pi using Bluetooth. There are many tutorials available, I followed the instructions from here. The link says PS4, but it also works with the Stadia Controller. The light around the Stadia logo should be solid white indicating a successful connection.
- Follow the instructions from this amazing tutorial, or watch their YouTube video. It is an old article/video and uses Python 2.7, but using Python 3 works just fine. The latest python-evdev tutorials can be found here.
