Possible way to emulate multiple game controllers through USB - emulation

I'm trying to figure out if I can emulate 1 or more game controllers through 1 USB connection.
I want to use a Raspberry Pi and I don't really know what I need to use or get.
If anyone knows then please let me know haha. ty :)

Capture audio output from raspberry pi (for LEDs)

I have a Raspberry pi 4 and my goal is to connect it to some LEDs that will react to music that is playing through bluetooth (or AirPlay, ...). I've installed rpi audio receiver and so now I can stream music to it.
Now I need to write (or use some) code, that could parse what is being played to the audio output (via built-in 3.5mm jack), so the main question now is:
Is it better (or possible) to intercept the audio somewhere and analyse it with my own code, or does this require some deep modifications to the streaming program? Or do you know of a better solution that could point me to the right direction?
I saw a lot of people using an external mic, but the whole process is too different from mine.
Type of LED strip is not important right now, if I'm able to write my own code for it.
Thanks for any help!

How can I capture input from one keyboard device and prevent it from interacting with other programs?

Anyone have a good idea for how to do the following?
I want to capture all input from a specific keyboard device on a Windows machine and prevent it interacting with other programs. I would also like my program not to be in focus if possible.
The device happens to be a USB proximity card reader. I don't want it entering any numbers into a form, I merely want to send it's data to a different application for processing.
I've looked at AutoHotkey and the Python keyboard library and it seems there are ways to do this just wanted to know if anyone had an elegant solution for this already.
Thank you. Let me know if you have questions.

Beacon/device that is able to receive signal from another beacon and pass it to smartphone

I've been searching in articles for some simple device that is able to do that(title), but I didnt find any. I am looking for a simple device that is able to get RSSI from some unique beacon in range and then pass it (reveiced RSSI value) to the smartphone(via bluetooth).
I thought about some "smart beacon" that is able to work bidirectional (Get signal from another beacon, then pass it to the smartphone). Has it ever been done?(If yes I would be grateful for any articles).
If I wouldn't find anything I will use another smartphone as that device.
I am unaware of any commercially available products that do this. A more common solution might be a device that scans for other beacons in the vicinity and reports them directly to a server.
The reason that reporting scanned beacons to a smartphone over BLE isn't a common solution is because it would be simpler for the phone to do the scanning itself. Why would you need a separate hardware device to do this?
Such a solution you propose might have the advantage of extending the range of the smartphone, but probably not by much. Consider that if the reliable range of BLE is 40 meters, then a phone 40 meters away from the device you suggest might be able to pick up beacons at most 80 meters away in the same direction. Practically speaking this would rarely even double the scan area covered by the phone simply working by itself.

Raspberry Pi Object or specific tag sensor

I am planning to work with a Rasberry Pi in order to try and detect motion of certain things. I was thinking of capturing motion with a similar approach RFID stickers perhaps placed on objects to detect their movement. Does anyone know of a type of sensor that could recognize specific movement or what technology I may look into ?

Estimote Stickers + Node.js + Raspberry-Pi

I'm using Noble / Bleacon with a Raspberry-Pi and a MacbookProRetina and I'm trying to discover an Estimote Sticker but it's really difficult since it's broadcasting an iBeacon packet once every X minutes.
As far as I know somebody told me that it's broadcasting more other kind of packets (motion sensor, temperature) rather than the standard iBeacon packet.
Any chance that I can discover these stickers with my setup?
Seems not,
However you might be able to reverse engineer some of the packets, someone went into this a while back on Make:
