Good evening,
I am trying to run the PS2X_example sketch using my wireless PS2 lynxmotion controller ( PS2 kit) together with my arduino UNO.
I followed the instructions i found on arduino.cc with regards to downloading zip files and installing libraries, and i went onto github to get the PS2X_lib from Bill porter. Once unzipped, the Arduino-PS2X-Master folder is added automatically to my library folder. I checked that it was where it was supposed to be, and yes it is with all the other libraries i have already downloaded.
My setup is simple : Arduino UNO powered and nothing else. I just want to compile the PS2X_example sketch and see if i have any error messages before doing anything else.
To my surprise i have multiple error message, but they are all of the same flavour, i.e. “undefined reference” as you can read below.

I have looked at the PS2X_lib.h file and i can see that config_gamepad(), ButtonPressed(), Button(), read_gamepad(), Analog(), NewButtonState() and ButtonReleased() are declared in the class PS2X section of the code.
I have uninstalled everything and restored everything, but still the same problem. I have also ran the example that were provided to others who have add problem setting up their controller, and i get exactly the same results.
Has anyone come accross such strange message?
Thanks for your insight,
Ralphy
