SkyHub supports controlling vehicles with a gamepad. The system was tested with PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 controllers, but any controller supporting the Browser Gamepad API will work.

​
Connection Steps

  1. Pair the controller to the phone, tablet, or PC
  2. Test that the gamepad is detected at hardwaretester.com/gamepad
  3. Log in to SkyHub: https://skyhub.ai
  4. Select a vehicle in the web interface and press any gamepad button to connect. A WebSocket connection is established to the selected drone.
  5. Enter MANUAL/LOITER mode for vehicle control.
