How to Connect a Bluetooth PS3 Controller to Arduino

[@tomgarrison4552]

Thanks! Had no idea about the soldering. Do you think this will work for a PS4 controller?

[@bobbyorr8509]

I would guess the process is similar but I would recommend trying to find a tutorial for a PS4 to arduino set up! There's probably small differences which may be hard to figure out without a tutorial.

@@bobbyorr8509 Thanks for responding. There really isn't any tutorials that I can find for the Arduino and PS4. Found a good one I think for PS4 and esp32 that I am going to try. and I ordered a PS3 controller, so hopefully I can get something to work.

No problem, good luck!

@@bobbyorr8509 Hello bro, I have some questions and I hope you can help me. 1.- Why did you use the first version of the library? what's wrong with the latest ones? 2.- How does the arduino recognize the Mac address of the PS3 controller when connected via Bluetooth? Thank you for your time!

1 - I used the first version of the arduino library because it’s the one that worked for me. Other libraries may work just as well or better but we didn’t have time to test many of them. 2 - I’ll be honest, I don’t know a ton about how this works but I think arduino recognizes all of the information of the ps3 remote when they are plugged in via cable and then this info is applied when you are trying to connect via bluetooth. I hope this helps and I’m sorry I don’t have a ton of info for you, it’s been a while since I’ve done bluetooth and arduino. Have a good one!
