one Ps4 controller, but two esp32
Posted: Fri Apr 17, 2026 9:48 pm
Hello,
i made a tank with 3d printing, its driven by an esp32 with bluetooth and a ps4 controller
now i made a second tank, and i would like to know, if it is possible to controll the other tank with the same controller?
basicly the controller has 2 fire buttons and two pads for left right and up down
so
the left half of the controller is used to move with the left pad and shoot with the left fire button
but
the right half of the controller is used to move with the right pad and shoot with the right fire button
first i tried to turn both tanks on, and see if the controller would connect to both, it only conects to one board
i read that esp32 can communicate to other esp32, can the communication forward those blue tooth commands to the other esp32?
or maybe adding a third esp32 to simplyfy, ps4 controller is connected to the master, and there are two slave esp32(one left and one right)
have a nice weekend
