I found out this library has been changed as of Arduino 19 and the new version is included in the distribution. So no go in Arduino 1.0 and Arduino 23. The sketches from Richard are written for the Spi.h for Arduino 18 or earlier. I installed Arduino 18, but the old Spi.h isn't included in that distribution, it was an extra library. I can no longer find it on the Arduino playground. If anyone has an old copy of this file it would be a great help. I'm looking for: Spi.h (as opposed to SPI.h from Arduino19) Thx for the interesting work - Lieven Hey,

I was wondering if it is possible to use another game controllers like <a href="http://www.logitech.com/en-us/gaming/controllers/devices/288" rel="nofollow">this one</a>? Do they share the protocol, or not? Thanks! Hi!

I was wondering if it is possible to use another game controllers like this one?

Do they share the protocol, or not?

Thanks!

Too bad to hear you got distracted by other projects. This was a very cool project, and an informative tutorial. Looking forward to the PS3 code. Thanks, Daniel Richard,

As I said above, there is no LED or rumble, and I don't think any Accelerometer/Gyro (unless you tell me otherwise). Motion values do not change. Example code is now here: http://github.com/ribbotson/USB-Host/blob/master/examples/MadPS3LCD.pde I didn't check out all the HID reports, so I may have missed something I wil go search for the PS3 Bluetooth code now!

Did you post that somewhere? Any advancements on getting the PS3 controller to work over bluetooth, or has this been abandoned? Thanks, Daniel Richard,

I've tried the USB_desc sketch and can't get anything to print to the Serial terminal. I did use your blueutils sketch to connect a bluetooth dongle through USB. That worked and I was able to put my computer in bluetooth discovery mode which the bluetooth dongle saw, and I got a print out on the serial terminal saying it was connected. The only problem I'm having is hooking up the PS3 controller through USB. I need to inject the bluetooth address of the dongle into it for it to connect to the dongle. Wondering if you had any ideas? I'm looking forward to seeing parts 4 and 5! Thanks, Brad Richard,

I thought it's supposed to be a six axis controller. How does the PS3 manage to read this controller if the report format is that much different? In the meantime I've managed to find a used Madcatz controller like you used, and it works great. I would still like to use the newer one too, so let me know when you have that sketch posted. Any idea if you will get around to making the PS3 controller work over bluetooth. That would be awesome. Thanks, Daniel Hi Richard,

The operation seems much more simple than the Sony controller, and the report format is different. There are no LEDS or rumble motors, so simple there ! Buttons, sticks and pressure works OK. Values relating to the Accelerometers and gyro seems to be returned, but they never change. Do you know if they are present on this controller ? I will put up a sketch to show support of buttons, sticks and pressure, but let me know if I miss something on motion sensing. Richard Hi Dan,

Thanks for the help, Daniel I tested the controller on the PC using Motioninjoy software.
Thanks for the help,
