How to use PS4 Controller with ESP32 🎮| Major issues solved 👍🏻

[@hashincludeelectronics]

Hi guys , I have observed that you guys are sometimes facing issue while pairing the controller . I would suggest try changing the usb cable and issue should be fixed 👍🏻👏🏻

[@GuaCantik-nc5pp]

Thank you very much bro I immediately subscribed from a long time ago, this is a very extraordinary project actually and I am very excited to want to follow the steps, but I'm not so excited bro because the Sixaxis pairtool application does not detect my PS 4 address. Please really bro how do I handle it even though I'm already excited?

Great tutorial. Please note that mods to library files are incorrect. Need to leave line 87 un-commented and comment out line 89. Your solution gives a complie error "too few arguments to function ". Also, I needed top add this at line 43 of PS4Controller.cpp : "#define ESP_BD_ADDR_STR "%02hhx:%02hhx:%02hhx:%02hhx:%02hhx:%02hhx"". Now everything works. Thanks

Excellent work, the only problem I had was linking the PS4 controller to the esp32, I solved it by leaving the library code as it is, after that it was linked correctly to the esp32

Thanks for checking out the video and nice comment . Yes that’s because of you must be using new version of esp32 board . Good that you had it resolved 👏🏻👏🏻

[@kevbomtb6078]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I'm fairly new to Arduino and connectivity like this but was able to pair up my PS4 controller to an esp32 and got the LED's from the test code to work. Excited to learn more and watch your other videos. Thank you for the time and effort you've put in to making these.... There isn't much documentation on these ESP32 boards that I could find, but I was able to figure out how to upload the sketch from previous drone building days where you had to hold buttons on power up to load into bootloader. On my ESP32 board I had to plug in, hold one button while pressing the other and I saw in serial monitor that got me in bootloader and gave message ready to download. However when I uploaded the sketch the com port would time out and say bootloader not ready. So after hours of trial and error, I uploaded (compiled) the sketch and when it gave the message of connecting to com port - I did the bootloader sequence on the board and sure enough it started writing the sketch to the board. I'm not sure if this is specific to the board I got off Amazon - but it sure did take a lot of tinkering and maybe some luck to figure this out! Maybe this comment will help someone else!

[@hashincludeelectronics]

Thank you very much for checking out the video and nice words . Surely this will help others if they face issue while working with esp32. Thanks for sharing experience 👏🏻👍🏻

@@hashincludeelectronics Any idea how to map the r2 button to specific servo location/angle? I want to use that button on a servo similar to using a pot with a servo - but everything I'm finding is for pots and it's not quite working out - the r2 button works to control servo, but it's either moving full rotation or nothing - it wont, for instance hold a position in half rotation if I was to press r2 half way down... even though it shows the r2 value correctly in serial monitor going from 0 to 255 as I depress it... I'm stuck, but I bet it has something to do with the r2 button not actually being an analog pot. which is what all the tutorials are showing - Any ideas / suggestions?

I noticed if the PS4 controller is connected to anything else previously like my PC then it wont connect to the esp32 even if PC's blutetooth is off. I previously had my ESP32 robot connected to the PS4 controller successfully then i wanted to play some PC games with the controller and reconnected to my PC bluetooth. After doing this i could no longer connect to the ESP32's bluetooth to control the robot. I used the code to wipe all the BT connections on the ESP32 provided in the description and it reconnected with the PS4 controller after wiping the esp32 and I was once again able to control the robot. But now i cant connect to the PC to play games so, as a fix; it seems i need to reset the controller via the tiny hole and reset button on the back of the controller and then I can successfully connect to my PC's bluetooth for gaming. This does disconnect me from the esp32 permanently until i run the BT wipe code and reconnect the controller to the esp32's bluetooth but at least there are solutions. hope this long winded comment helps out some of you out there.

After two days of trying with a very cheap controller from Amazon that did not connect with the sixaxispairtool, I broke down and paid $64 for an official Sony PS4 controller. That controller did connect to sixaxispair tool and I can set the MAC address. Now, like many persons, it does not connect to the ESP32. I notice in your diagram that you have a 38 pin esp32. I am going to try different ESP32 boards and see if a different one will connect. Dronebot workshop is doing similar work with PS3 controller. I might try his code also.

[@hashincludeelectronics]

Did you set the mac address in controller ? Try restarting the esp32 👍🏻👏🏻

[@peterwilliams5341]

I couldn't find a safe way to download the sixaxis pair tool, so I found the MAC address of the controller and wrote that as a string into the PS4.Begin() function call in the setup function like " void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); PS4.attach(notify); PS4.attachOnConnect(onConnect); PS4.attachOnDisconnect(onDisConnect); PS4.begin("a0:ab:51:8d:9x:7c"); Serial.println("Ready."); } " The function is used that way in the example codes of the library, but I can't get them to pair. does the fix to the compilation error change the way that this function can be used? I am using the same version esp32 board (1.0.6) that you downloaded from the board manager. but I'm using a ESP32-Wroom-32, so I select "ESP32 devkit" from the board manager (or else I'd get a PSRAM ID error) @@hashincludeelectronics

You can fix the compilation bug by replacing in ps4_spp.c the line (89) "esp_bt_gap_set_scan_mode(ESP_BT_SCAN_MODE_CONNECTABLE);" by "esp_bt_gap_set_scan_mode(ESP_BT_CONNECTABLE, ESP_BT_GENERAL_DISCOVERABLE);"

I have managed to retrieve the BT MAC for my ESP32 DevkitC v4, and I am able to use my Lenovo M10 android tablet with various BT 'scanner apps' to 'find' the ps4-controller and to 'pair' my tablet with it. Some of these apps also told me the BT MAC of the ps4_controller which could be helpful. So I have BT MAC's for both sides of the ESP32/PS4_controller pair but am unable to complete the 'sixaxis pair tool' process. The model of ps4_controller that I currently have is CUH-ZCT-2U and came from Aliexpress. No specific make shown.

I now know that the reason my 'sixaxis pair tool' process is failing is because my ps4-controller device is not installing on the USB correctly.

I bought 3 different ps4 controllers from amazon. they all do the exact same thing. followed all the steps in the video, tried every suggestion made by others in the comments. everything seems to work up until time to pair the controller. all 3 controllers just flash and turn off after a few min. None ever connect. I cleared previous bt paired devices, but there are none. esp32 is brand new. Never hooked anything to bt yet. all controllers new out of box, not connected to anything but the PC via usb to set master mac. Tried to make changes suggested by Tony Johnson, "Need to leave line 87 un-commented and comment out line 89. Your solution gives a complie error "too few arguments to function ". This gave me compile errors. but it worked with the edits in the video (maybe difference in version of librarys or board?) Tried "add this at line 43 of PS4Controller.cpp : "#define ESP_BD_ADDR_STR "******".(my esp32 mac address) and this didn't seem to do anything for me one way or another. Granted none of my controllers are the exact one used in this video, but all very similar. And my esp32 is just an amazon "AITRIP 2 Sets ESP-WROOM-32 ESP32 ESP-32S Type-C USB Development Board" What versions of software is everyone running? what esp32 library version? what ps4 version? what IDE version? I am going to try to order the exact controller and try again... but i think i will have the same results.

[@kensoggs]

I bought a real sony PS4 controller and it worked with the original library with no modifications right off the bat. simple as anything. Cant believe i spend 2 days trying to get generic controllers to work. apparently most of the generic ps4 controller now are just generic game pads, or xbox controllers made to look like a ps4 controller.
