 CONTROLLER v1.1.0 - MOBILE-TO-PC WIRELESS GAMEPAD
========================================================================

TWO EDITIONS INCLUDED:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Controller.exe (GUI Edition):
   Full Tactical Telemetry GUI with live real-time oscilloscopes, visual
   slot cards, camera pairing QR display, and interactive buttons.

2. Controller-Terminal.exe (Terminal Edition - Maximum Performance):
   100% Zero-GUI console server for competitive low-latency gaming.
   Eliminates all GUI threads and graphics rendering for absolute
   minimum CPU jitter and 0ms UI overhead. Includes interactive terminal
   controls (type 's' to swap, 't' to test rumble, 'status' to view players).

HOW TO PLAY ON ANY PC:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEP 1: (FIRST TIME ONLY ON A NEW PC)
  Run "Install-Driver.bat" as Administrator.
  (Or if Controller.exe is open, click "INSTALL DRIVER" on the top right!)
  This installs the official ViGEmBus driver so Windows recognizes
  your smartphone as genuine Xbox 360 controllers.

STEP 2: LAUNCH CONTROLLER (CHOOSE YOUR EDITION)
  Option A: Double-click "Controller.exe" for the Tactical GUI Dashboard.
  Option B: Double-click "Controller-Terminal.exe" for Zero-GUI Max Performance.

STEP 3: CONNECT YOUR PHONE
  - Connect your smartphone to the same Wi-Fi network as this PC.
    (Tip: Windows Mobile Hotspot provides the lowest possible latency!)
  - Open your phone's camera and scan the QR Code (shown in GUI or Terminal).
  - If a browser security warning appears, tap "Advanced" -> "Proceed"
    (this is normal because the server generates local SSL certificates).
  - Rotate your phone to Landscape mode.
  - Done! Player 1 connects immediately on your PC screen!

STEP 4: CONTROLLER CONTROLS & ERGONOMICS
  - Left & Right Analog Sticks:
    * 100% Pure continuous 360-degree circular motion with zero cardinal snapping.
    * Rapid Touch-Off Flick Capture & Mechanical Spring Snapback Curve.
      Optimized for trick detection in games like Skate and precision steering.
  - Triggers & Bumpers:
    * LT & RT: Instantaneous hair-trigger actuation (XInput 255) on touch with progressive touch pressure.
    * LB & RB: High-speed shoulder bumpers.
  - Action Buttons: Y, X, B, A diamond layout with center RS click.
  - 6-DoF Gyroscope Motion Steering:
    * Tap the center gyroscope circle anytime to toggle motion steering ON or OFF (default OFF).
    * Includes discrete Kalman filtering and on-screen artificial horizon.
  - Center Logo Dual-Function Navigation:
    * Quick Tap: Opens the minimal Settings screen (slot selection, vibration toggle, reset controls).
    * Hold 450ms: Enters Layout Customization mode to drag and resize buttons or change stick radius.

STEP 5: PLAYER SLOT SWAPPING (FIFA & MULTIPLAYER FIX)
  - If FIFA or another game assigns players in the wrong order:
    * In Controller.exe: Tap [SWAP] on the Player Deck card, or click "SWAP P1 / P2".
    * In Controller-Terminal.exe: Simply type 's' or 'swap' and hit Enter!
    * On your Phone: Tap the center logo to open Settings and tap any Player slot (P1-P4).
  - The slot manager atomically exchanges the two virtual XInput controllers,
    instantly swapping Player 1 and Player 2 without disconnecting anyone!

STEP 6: REAL FORCE-FEEDBACK HAPTICS
  - Native dual-motor rumble feedback is extracted directly from the game
    via ViGEmBus kernel notifications (crashes, tackles, ball kicks, engine revs, goal posts).
  - Streamed to your phone at ultra-low latency with:
    * Dual-tier multi-frequency physical motor pulses.
    * Sub-bass acoustic tactile resonance (50Hz-70Hz) via the phone's speaker.
  - Toggle vibration ON or OFF in the phone Settings screen (default OFF).
  - TIP: For maximum haptic intensity, ensure your phone is NOT in silent/mute mode.

STEP 7: TESTING WITH ONLINE TESTERS OR ANY PC GAME
  - Online Tester: Open https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad or https://gamepad-tester.com
    In Controller.exe, click [TEST] on P1, or in Controller-Terminal.exe type 't'.
    Or click [PULSE] (or type 'p' in terminal) to wake up the tester.
    The browser will immediately detect "Xbox 360 Controller (XInput STANDARD GAMEPAD)"!
  - In Games: Launch any PC game (FIFA, Rocket League, GTA V, Elden Ring, Forza, etc.).
    The controller is recognized natively as genuine Xbox 360 gamepads!

SUPPORT:
  Supports up to 4 simultaneous smartphones (Player 1, 2, 3, 4)
  for local multiplayer split-screen gaming with dedicated live telemetry!
