Did you try to connect PS5 controller to UNO R4 Wifi?

Official Hardware Classic UNO R4 WiFi

Hi Everybody,

i've just got a UNO R4 WIFI and was wondering if i can connect it directly to PS5 controller via BLE, would this be an option? Does anybody have any idea on how to approach this? I'm new to the system and would like to start with some challenges!!

Thanks to everyone might want to give some help!

If you are new to anything, the the absolute worse thing you can do is to start with a challenge. You start with something simple and build up from there.

Thank you Grumpy!
I'm not new new to programming, indeed i could have explained better...
Anyway, thank you for the hint in how to approach my question and the solution you gave me!

I am unfamiliar with the PS5 controller or its BLE protocol, but if it is helpful, I have implemented a BLE Serial interface for the UNO R4 WiFi.

The code I will point to is part of a larger project, but I will provide links that may be helpful.

It uses a hardware BLE serial library. I use it in a byte-oriented fashion, running it on the UNO as a central device.

Here are some links within the code that may provide some detail:

  1. Instantiaing a hardware ble serial object.
  2. In setup, starting the BLE serial object.
  3. In the loop, poll for any BLE updates.
  4. I read data in here.
  5. I write data out here.

I hope that some of this is helpful :smiley:

As far as i can see the S3 on the R4 only supports BLE. On the other hand the PS5 controller supports only BT classic. (See Supported gamepads - Bluepad32)

I think this combination will not work.

Right Rintin, this is also what i've found out during my weekends of tests and playing around...

Thanks!
