Original control prototype that was built and wired but never tested used Arduino Wireless SD Shield with 8 channel relay and metal toggle switches.
Is it viable to use a game controller for controlling a safety critical system?
Considerations
- Wireless input configuration needs to be secure
- Microcontroller resilient to lack of input
- Redundant wireless interaction and/or controls override with Universal Controller MINI12864
- Signal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesh_networking
- Integration of bluetooth in Arduino Mega 2560 https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1175.html (looks like the chip shortage has become ubiquitous now eh?)
- BLE has ~10-20 meter range
