Connection to the PS3 controller


Today we actually got the new components that we were waiting for. We got the following components:

*USB HOST shield

*Bluetooth dongle USB

The USB host shield we had to use to make an connection with the Bluetooth dongle and the Arduino. Because we wanted to connect the Playstation 3 controller to the Arduino through Bluetooth. And this couldn’t be done through the Bluetooth module that we had available at school. So after we got the components, we tried to get the Playstation controller to connect to the Bluetooth. This took some hours of researching and many different attempts. But we did it, we now have the Playstation controller working with the Arduino. It doesn’t drive the car yet, but we will work on that next time. Atleast we know that the components we ordered, work. Next time we will start writing code for what will happen when we press different buttons on the Playstation controller.
