npm testConfiguration
If the button commands coming wrong you can configure your own controller interface.
var xbox = require('xbox-controller-node');
xbox.configure();This will launch a server page on browser to you configure your controller. The page will be available on http://localhost:3000. See the complete Configuration Guide.
Just the first step
Yes. The triggers are not mapped :(. For this... contributions and improvements are very welcome. Thanks for see this.
