Hi, I have a Lynxmotion Ps2 v4 controller, and I am trying to pair it with my arduino. I am having trouble pairing it. I downloaded and added the library, and can’t seem to get the two to pair … I keep getting not connected: 11:17:59.399 → No controller found, check wiring, s…

Hi DirkL3, The first thing to do would be to use the Lynxmotion PS2X library found HERE . Make sure to delete the one you have first. Use the following pins to connect the receiver: [image] Open the example in the library PS2X_Exa…

I tried just using the example; When I power up the thing, it just shows the RED LED on the Receiver. … no flashing green, or anything.

the remote shows flashing green and red LEDs

Can you please attach some clear pictures of the wiring? The LEDs have nothing to do with the communication between the receiver and the Arduino.

“The LEDs have nothing to do with the communication between the receiver and the Arduino.” right … they indicate between the receiver an the transmitter, right? that’s why I am wondering if there’s a procedure for pairing the two, that I am not following?

or if the solid red LED indicates the receiver is hosed?

Hi, so I switched to a different controller/receiver combo, and they seem to pair: the lights are green on both. When the Arduino looks for controller input (x, triangle, circle, square, etc), it gets nothing, now, which makes me think that these brand new amazon batteries aren’…

Hi DirkL3, I don’t think I understood everything. The pinout should be the one I supplied earlier in THIS post. If you are using the right Example & Library (the one from Lynxmotion GitHub ). You might want to try directly to your Arduino as I don’t know if the pins are directl…

Hi DirkL3,

To properly do the test, please insure that nothing else is connected to your Arduino board.
Also connect it as we suggested as it’s not on the right pins on your picture.

Regards,
