Several Bluetooth questions

rex_noctis

So long story short, I’m good at playing games with touch screen controls and I’m bad with an Xbox controller. However I like slot of Xbox games so this somewhat limits me. So I was wondering if there was some way I could write a programme to connect to my Xbox via Bluetooth and then use custom controls (possible made using scene module) to control it instead of the usual physical controller. I’ll divide this up into a few questions to make it a bit simpler. I know there is a sort of controller on the Xbox app but apparently that can’t be used with games.

Is there a module or other way to connect to more advanced devices via Bluetooth (the cb module says it’s only for basic Bluetooth devices)?
Would I be able to control the Xbox through this method without having to modify the Xbox in any way?
If it’s looking good so far, what are some of the pieces of code I would need to use (quite specifically)?
Thanks in advance.

Is this Xbox 360 or Xbox one? A cursory internet search seems to indicate that there might be some security in one or the other that prevents not certified vendors from making controllers.

Look around for Arduino based controllers. If one works with Xbox, you may then be able to have that connect via Bluetooth or WiFi to pythonista. But I think you might suffer enough lag to make this unworkable.

i think what your doing is possible but the way you're doing it isn't. for one apple and the Xbox remote have there Bluetooth locked down.

but if you use sockets and a pc to forward it instead it might work. you will need a pc and a library to spoof the Xbox remote but it, in theory, should work
