If you want to do this on your own, you need additional hardware:

  • A arduino with an USB-Host (Mega will not work) or an shield which provides the USB-Host
  • A Bluetooth dongle

On your Arduino you will have to run the PS3BT You have to know the MAC adress of your BT-dongle. This can be obtained in two ways:

  • Most simple: It is written on the dongle itself
  • Or you have to run the script and the MAC should be displayed over SerialMonitor

If you have the address then you have to comment the line 19 in the code and uncomment line 20. Additionally you have to enter your MAXMAC address in the line 20.

Then unplug the dongle from the arduino, plug in the PS3 controller via USB and reset the arduino. The controller will be paired with the dongle.

Now plug in the dongle again and pair the controller (pressing the playstation button). It should work from here on. The script just prints the inputs from the controller to the serial monitor. Then you just have to implement all the rest of your code.
