If you would like to use the exact same version I use in my video (and am still using), you can get it here.

The new library does not print out the debug information you see in my video and the sketch will become too large to upload to an UNO if you turn the debugging on. UPDATE: Some people have had trouble with the newer versions of the USB host shield library. This dongle has also been confirmed working: Ī user has confirmed that the Hytac HGB737 bluetooth dongle works as well. These are also confirmed working (by the developers): Kingston and Zoom. Here are the two I have: The black one (working) and the green one (not working, although listed as compatible). The wiki page for using a PS3 controller will have a list of compatible dongles (although note that in the video I mention that one of the “supported” dongles doesn’t in fact work).

UPDATE: The latest USB host library does not print out any debug information, so you won’t see any of the information that is printed out below “Bluetooth Library Started.” You should still be able to connect your PS3 controller and see it’s data output in the terminal.Ī Sony-made, PS3 controller (Dualshock 3 or Sixaxis (I was unable to find a strictly Sixaxis controller)).Ī Bluetooth dongle: UPDATE: Go here for the list of dongles confirmed working by the developers. Having received all of the required hardware, I decided to make this video explaining the process of setting up the PS3 controller and Arduino for communication via Bluetooth. As mentioned in a previous post, I’m interested in using a PS3 controller as the remote for future projects/robots.
