PS2 contoller and BS2

Lynxmotion Electronics & Software

Hello,

I was looking on the LM site, and I didn’t find any codes for a PS2 controller and a BS2. I will have the mini ABB and the sony playstaton cable for Christmas with the new playstation controller from lynxmotion I hope, but maybe just a normla MadCatz one, and since the holidays aren’t so long, well I thought I should advance with the code. I will probably just start testing with a pan and tilt to see how it works, and then with the BRAT junior and finaly the BRAT. Does anyone have some code to use with the BS2?

Sam, thanks

Here is the code I posted in the July 2006 issue of Servo Magazine

I did this with a BS2px, but it works fine with the BS2.
Both Jon’s and Aaron’s articles can be obtained here: servomagazine.com/media-file … Roboto.zip
It is my understanding that Aaron’s article is based on the information that Jim provided to him.
