I just purchased the Lynxmotion PS2 Controller V2 and a BotBoarduino. The tutorial says to PAIR the controller to the receiver? When the receiver has power 1 red LED will be on and 1 will flash?
I have 4.98 volts on the red wire but none of the LED’s are on. See attached picture for wiring if needed. If I understand the tutorials I do not need code running in the BotBoarduino to PAIR the controller and the receiver.

Thanks for the image. No - the transmitter does not need to be paired to the receiver.
Assuming you have the level shifter wired correctly and hte code uploaded, the unit will pair very fast (less than 2 seconds) and both red LEDs will be solid.
Just hook up all six wires like in the tutorial, load the PS2 library and check out the serial monitor to see the values change.

If you’re using a USB to test, you can change VL to USB and remove the 9V battery.
Thank you very much. Please tell mewhere to get the hte code to upload. Must have missed this part in the tutorial?
Thank you, I believe I have all wires correct. I copied code from Devon Simmon’s example of how to control a tank style robot using PS2 controller. My BotBoarduino has been uploaded and the code is running. Debug script says “no controller found”
The red LED’s on the receiver never turn on. Is this my code or a hardware problem? I assumed with 5 volts on the receiver the left LED would turn on?
I was going to post the code but I could not find a “CODE” button on the page?

I THINK IT WORKS? call me crazy but I noticed that one of the pins on the level shifter did not looked like it was soldered. I soldered the pin and now the code prints:
Found Controller, configured successful
DualShock Controller Found
:mrgreen:
thanks for your help,

If one of the pins was improperly soldered, we do apologize.
