Hi all! We have a young person that is in a wheelchair that has a joystick (R-net CJSM2) that can be used as a bluetooth navigation device (mouse/pointer). Has anyone been able to connect to the V5 to drive a robot? If so would love some help getting this to work.
Thanks!
You might be able to connect it directly to a Bluetooth enabled microcontroller (such as a Raspberry Pi Pico W or an ESP32 board) and run it through cut and stripped 3 wire cables to the brain.
Connecting an R-net CJSM2 joystick (Bluetooth HID) to a V5 Brain for robot control likely requires an intermediary device like a Raspberry Pi. This device would receive the joystick signals, translate them into commands the V5 Brain understands (potentially via USB controller emulation or serial communication), and send those commands to the V5. Direct Bluetooth HID support on the V5 is unlikely. Focus on understanding the joystick’s Bluetooth protocol, developing translation software on the intermediary, and establishing a communication link with the V5 using VEXcode. The VEX Forum and Raspberry Pi communities can offer valuable support.
