error: Xbox controller could not be found.

Seeing "error: Xbox controller could not be found." when attempting to import the library.

However, I can see the xbox controller working fine inside of the controller driver preference panel in OS X. Unsure how to diagnose?

It could be that your xbox controller has a different Human interface device name than on my machine "controller", so this line doesn't find it: https://github.com/andrew/node-xbox-controller/blob/master/lib/xbox.js#L94

It might be worth trying out something like:

var HID = require('node-hid')

console.log(HID.devices())

To see what things are plugged into your computer and how they are named.

I think you're exactly right, the controller I'm using is an off-brand and
has the brand name in the device name. Will experiment again later this
week and confirm for sure.

You should mark this as closed, I was checking here to see if there were reasons the software didn't work!
