Multiple Devices
On startup, if a device is in use, it will be skipped and the next available device will be used. The serial number and path will be printed to the console for debugging.
Use the printed serial number to specifically address devices if required, see Serial Numbers below.
Serial Numbers
Each device has own serial number. On startup, the serial number of the device detected will be printed to the console.
To use a specific serial number, specify it when creating the controller:
var xbox = '9BB004D0';
If you have a third party controller without 'controller' in the name, specify the device serial number to use that device.
