VirtualGamePad Server on Microcontollers

[pschatzmann]

I thought it would be cool to use the VirtualGamePad Android app to control custom-built robots or drones, so I created the VirtualGamePadArduino project. I believe this opens up a range of other possibilities as well.

If I could place a whish for the Android application: it is quite annoying to type in the ip address and port all the times. It would be greatly helpful to propose the last working values.

I was just reading that you planned for Symmetric Key Encryption on the sockets.
I guess this would really break this functionality!

planned for Symmetric Key Encryption

All plans for new features / major changes are experiments at first before their fate is decided on.

This one has been 'planned' long back.
I asked a security professional who told me Encryption is unnecessary for the use case.
Unless reality proves otherwise, I am not implementing it as a feature.

So go ahead and build your library!

It's great to see the VirtualGamepad system being put to creative use!

Looking forward to the day when the library is mature/stable enough to be widely used.

Please create an issue on the Mobile app repo where we can discuss further.
