If it responds, that controller is 0 or 1 or 2 or whatever number you put after the js in the code below. Run the code below, see if it responds when one of the controllers presses buttons. Run jstest to determine what your Pi put each controller down as. It will not ask you to initialize again as long as an es_input.cfg file exists. If you really are planning on getting 2 controllers connected, I would recommend having this in the es_input file twice. You are just making the outline for the configuration file now so you can go in and edit it. If you want confirmation, you can run: jstest /dev/input/js01Ĭreate a sixad profile for the controller sudo nano /var/lib/sixad/profiles/defaultĮxit the emulator with f4, press the PS button on your controller, wait a couple seconds and start the emulator.Įnter anything for default controls and then p ress f4 on your keyboard. The lights will just be flashing and you won’t get a confirmation that it connected. Unplug your controller and press the PS button. Start controller manager now and connect for the first time. You’ll get something similar to the following output:Ĭurrent Bluetooth master: 00:10:60:57:15:C7 Turn player 1 on first and then player 2, otherwise it will kind of screw up your keymapping. Reboot the computer and turn the controllers on. I would recommend you get 1 controller completely connected, then go back and connect the 2nd one. Now we are going to pair the controllers by plugging it into your USB port with a mini-usb cable. Run controller manager at boot sudo update-rc.d sixad defaults

Sixpair is the application that pairs your Pi with the PS3 controller.ĭownload and install sixad, the controller manager. Now you want to download and install sixpair. If you don’t get something like that, you may have an incompatible bluetooth dongle.
