XAC finally working

I kept my XAC unused for several months since it seamed broken – I could connect but nothing worked.

Until I found an issue in the Xbox Controller Driver for MacOS project saying that the XAC needs some kind of initial configuration so a connection to a Xbox or a Windows 10 machine is needed.

I spent a whole day with my Windows 10 VM and nothing – as soon as I connected the XAC to the VM it started a loop of connecting / disconnecting.

So I asked my wife if I could try it on her company’s laptop. It took just a minute, just two notifications and nothing more.

So now the XAC is working fine again with USB connection – I can even use Antimicro to assing keys to each button and use it with Pybricks IDE to remote control the LEGO Top Gear Rally Car with my feet:
