# ps4

A golang library to read from a Playstation 4 controller. This uses evdev, so it is **Linux Only**.

# Usage

```golang

pacakge main

import (

	"context"

	"fmt"

	"github.com/mrasband/ps4"

)

func main() {

	inputs, err := ps4.Discover()

	if err != nil {

		fmt.Printf("Error discovering controller: %s\n", err)

		os.Exit(1)

	}

	var device *ps4.Input

	for _, input := range inputs {

		if input.Type == ps4.Controller {

			device = input

			break

		}

	}

	ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())

	defer cancel()

	events, _ := ps4.Watch(ctx, device)

	for e := range events {

		fmt.Printf("%+v\n", e)

	}

}

```
