Using Several PS-2s Near Each Other

Lynxmotion Electronics & Software
1

I realize any kid old enough to have actually owned a Play Station 2 can probably answer this, but I can’t. :blush:

I am hoping to demonstrate several Lynxmotion robots to our Senior Center Computer Club and to let the members work with them hands on. This goal would mean several pairs of PS-2 controllers and receivers working simultaneously in close proximity indoors.

  1. Is this even possible?

  2. What sequence of steps should I take to pair one TX with one RX to the exclusion of all others, and then another pair, and then another?

  3. When a TX-RX pair have been synced to each other, do they maintain this or lose it when power is removed?

  4. If they maintain their sync, how do I break the sync so the units can later be used in different pairings?

  5. If they lose sync, can the multiple pairings of question 2 be created near each other, or do they have to synced at a distance and then brought near each other later?

If this is possible, I would be using units sold by LM so that problems of off brands wouldn’t needn’t be taken into account.

Thanks to all for any advice or instructions you can give me; I couldn’t find anything in this part of the forum that approached any of this.

  1. Yes it is possible.
  2. Power on Tx then Rx, then repeat.
  3. Connection is lost when power is removed.
  4. Remove power.
  5. Do not need to move away.
    I can’t comment on other brands.
