Power Cable - 8" PC-01
PS2 Robot Controller RC-01
Sony Playstation Controller Cable PS2C-01

You will also need a Basic Atom chip. Then you can use this tutorial to get it working.

As Jim said, you need the Basic Atom micro. IF your programs will be big then consider getting the Basic Atom Pro as it is faster and has more memory. The Pro requires some extra components like a resistor to get the PS2 controller working. Plenty of tutorials on lynxmotion to do it though.
