I have been trying to connect my ESP-32 microcontroller to an XBox One S Wireless controller via classic bluetooth using this BTStack implemented by Bluekitchen. I have managed to connect the two devices (with the ESP-32 as the host) and can read all the values from the controller on the ESP-32. I am now trying to work out how to send valid reports to the controller. The descriptor reported by the controller upon connection is this:
05 01 09 05 A1 01 85 01 09 01 A1 00 09 30 09 31 15 00 27 FF FF 00 00 95 02 75 10 81 02 C0 09 01 A1 00 09 33 09 34 15 00 27 FF FF 00 00 95 02 75 10 81 02 C0 05 01 09 32 15 00 26 FF 03 95 01 75 0A 81 02 15 00 25 00 75 06 95 01 81 03 05 01 09 35 15 00 26 FF 03 95 01 75 0A 81 02 15 00 25 00 75 06 95 01 81 03 05 01 09 39 15 01 25 08 35 00 46 3B 01 66 14 00 75 04 95 01 81 42 75 04 95 01 15 00 25 00 35 00 45 00 65 00 81 03 05 09 19 01 29 0A 15 00 25 01 75 01 95 0A 81 02 15 00 25 00 75 06 95 01 81 03 05 01 09 80 85 02 A1 00 09 85 15 00 25 01 95 01 75 01 81 02 15 00 25 00 75 07 95 01 81 03 C0 05 0F 09 21 85 03 A1 02 09 97 15 00 25 01 75 04 95 01 91 02 15 00 25 00 75 04 95 01 91 03 09 70 15 00 25 64 75 08 95 04 91 02 09 50 66 01 10 55 0E 15 00 26 FF 00 75 08 95 01 91 02 09 A7 15 00 26 FF 00 75 08 95 01 91 02 65 00 55 00 09 7C 15 00 26 FF 00 75 08 95 01 91 02 C0 85 04 05 06 09 20 15 00 26 FF 00 75 08 95 01 81 02 C0
When I run this dump through this translator, I get a readable output that is included at the end of the question since it is quite long. Only the output report format of the HID descriptor is listed here:

My understanding of the HID standard would indicate that this part of the descriptor is invalid, since Usage (0x70) is followed by Report Count (4), the btstack parser that I am using to debug why this isn't working then has to try to match 4 bytes to a single usage and isn't able to do this as far as I am aware. Currently the report I am trying to send to the controller (and to the parser, while I am debugging) is 0x03, 0xF0, 0x64, 0x64, 0x64, 0x64, 0xFF, 0x10, 0x05, where the 0x03 indicates the report ID, and the following values indicate parameters I am sending to control rumble motors. The 4 0x64 values are the 4 bytes that should be mapped to 4 usages, however only correspond to 1 usage 0x70 according to the HID Descriptor. At the moment the parser stops after finding the first 0x64 and claims to be finished.
Am I wrong in thinking this HID Descriptor is invalid? If I am, does anyone know what report I should be sending to match this HID Descriptor template. Sorry for the messiness/length of this question.
Thanks in advance, Richard

It turns out the controller had disabled the vibration motors since the battery was "low", and sending the report described in the question (with a 0xA2 at the start) worked as I intended it to when I had replaced the batteries. I'm still not sure if the HID Descriptor is actually syntactically valid, but the controller does what I want it to now at least!
