Hi all,

My company have a large amount of IP cameras above and below the water surface ( fish tank for salmon) and for switching between cameras and control them with gamepads, we currently need to use a third party software for this task.

I would like to develop a solution where this is integrated into Ignition. Have anyone any experience connecting a game pad to ignition?

I guess some sort of Bluetooth to Ethernet converter could be used, but was curious if someone already had successfully done this and how.

Best regards

Tommy

If you can somehow get your bluetooth data to transmit over tcp or udp with specifically formed packets at a given port then can these drivers might be your answer:

You would need the bluetooth or whatever you settle with to talk to the server (gateway) directly. Perspective running in a browser or kiosk is not going to allow these comms for security reasons. All perspective scripts run on the gateway.
