Hi,
I am currently working on a project for an underwater robot and want to control the motors with the botboarduino and a ps2 controller. I am currently stuck on connecting the controller to board. I believe I have it all wired correctly but I’m not sure. I am using the PS2X library from Bill Porter and I am continually getting the same response saying the board can’t locate a controller. I was hoping someone with some knowledge on the botboarduino could help me with my connection issues. Below are some of the wiring I have in place.
I have a feeling it may be the power I have coming into the board but im not sure.
Thanks so much,
Karr
Hi,
Are you sure that the wires from the PS2 Controller (connected on the BotBoarduino) are not touching to each other creating a short ?
You’ll also need to know if your PS2 Controller is 5V tolerant to connect it directly to the BotBoarduino.
Otherwise, you’ll need a level shifter like this one.
If your controller is 5V tolerant, it might be better to use this PS2 Connector Breakout Board for a clean wiring.
Also, please take a look at the attached picture, this jumper should be on 5V and not VS.
Finally, please use this library for the BotBoarduino.
Regards,
Great thank you very much for the help, I will give those adjustments a shot!
Regards
