Hello,
I’m wondering if it’s possible to program an AL5D SSC32 with an xbox 360 controller? If so does anyone have some sample code or a tutorial I could follow? Any resources would be very helpful!!

Hi,
You can use FBS (FlowBotics Studio) to create an app to control the robotic arm using the existing AL5 app as a base that you can modify.
FBS already offers a component for using an XBox 360 controller
If you wish instead to code your own software from scratch, you will need to create code to interface with the Xbox 360 controller and code to interface with the SSC-32U.
For the SSC-32U, you can read more about the protocol in the user manual on pages 24-26. You can see an example of basic communication with an SSC-32U using VB.NET here.
If you prefer to use C#, you can find many online converters to convert from VB.NET to C#.
For the XBox 360 controller part, you can find plenty of tutorials and examples with a quick online search.
Sincerely,
