I bought the following model of Raspberry Pi3 from Amazon.
RASPBERRYPI3-MODB-1GB
which claims to support: Bluetooth 4.1, Bluetooth Low Energy
And I also got a Sony DualShock PS3 controller with Model No: CECHZC2U
I am trying to connect them using the sixaxis library based on the following steps:
sudo apt-get install bluetooth libbluetooth3 libusb-dev
sudo systemctl enable bluetooth.service
sudo usermod -G bluetooth -a pi
Reboot after changing the user group.
Plug in the PS3 with USB cable. Hit center PS logo button. Get and build the command line pairing tool. Run it:
wget http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixpair.c
gcc -o sixpair sixpair.c -lusb
sudo ./sixpair
Use bluetoothctl to pair
bluetoothctl
agent on
devices
trust <MAC ADDRESS>
default-agent
quit
Unplug USB cable. Hit center PS logo button.
To test that the Bluetooth PS3 remote is working, verify that /dev/input/js0 exists.
Unfortunately, I was unable to find the /dev/input/js0 at all. Has anyone successfully connected a Pi3-ModelB to a PS3 controller? Thanks!
