Has anyone gotten an Xbox controller to work in QGroundcontrol running on an android phone or table. I have everything sort of working using my macbook but I really don’t want to pack it around all the time.

Is it even possible to setup a controller in QGroundControl for android? I can connect both my x box one and xbox 360 and control the phone but I don’t see any joystick options like on my macbook. I tried the virtual joysticks but those were pretty useless.

Hi @skippyhiatt6481,

Unfortunately, joystick controller support on Android and IOs is a work in progess, and is not currently supported.

Hey Jacob,

Thanks for the heads up! It’s going to be awesome when controllers are supported on android and IOS. You guys rock! Keep up the great work and the killer products!
