so this is my wiring

when I tried to compile the code using this particular library,

i am getting this error

Please post your sketch, using code tags when you do

Hi @gratus. It appears that, in addition to installing it as usual, you may have also put a copy of the library in the same folder as your sketch.

If so, the error will be fixed by deleting the library files from the sketch folder.

Please give it a try and then let us know what the results were.

Well it worked out thank you somuch, you are a life saver :slight_smile:

You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now. Enjoy!

Hi,
Is it the same project?

If so, please don't duplicate our efforts....

so I want to make a car controlled using arduino and ps2 controlller.
This is my wiring, and I have double checked it, it is correct as shown

and I have used this ps2x library

and this is the sketch

// include libraries
#include <PS2X_lib.h>

// These are used to set the direction of the bridge driver.
#define ENA 3      //ENA

int motor_left_speed = 0;

PS2X ps2x; // create PS2 Controller Class

//you must always either restart your Arduino after you conect the controller, 
//or call config_gamepad(pins) again after connecting the controller.

    break;
  case 1:
    Serial.println("DualShock Controller Found");
    break;
  case 2:
    Serial.println("GuitarHero Controller Found");
    break;
  }
}

// Main loop
void loop(){
   
 if(error == 1) //skip loop if no controller found
  return; 
  
 else { //DualShock Controller
  
     ps2x.read_gamepad(false, vibrate); // disable vibration of the controller

    int nJoyL = ps2x.Analog(PSS_LX); // read left stick
    nJoyL = map(nJoyL, 0, 255, 1023, -1023);

    int motor_right_speed = 1023;
    int motor_left_speed = 1023;
    
    if (nJoyL < 0) {
      motor_right_speed = motor_right_speed + nJoyL;
    }
    if (nJoyL > 0) {
      motor_left_speed = motor_left_speed - nJoyL;
    }


    if(ps2x.Button(PSB_R2)) {
      digitalWrite(MOTORA_1,LOW);
      digitalWrite(MOTORA_2,HIGH);
      digitalWrite(MOTORB_1,HIGH);
      digitalWrite(MOTORB_2,LOW);      
      analogWrite(ENA, motor_right_speed);
      analogWrite(ENB, motor_left_speed);
    }
    if(ps2x.Button(PSB_L2)) {
      digitalWrite(MOTORA_1,HIGH);
      digitalWrite(MOTORA_2,LOW);

      analogWrite(ENB, motor_left_speed);
    }
    if(!ps2x.Button(PSB_L2) && !ps2x.Button(PSB_R2)) {
      analogWrite(ENA, 0);
      analogWrite(ENB, 0);    
    }
     
 delay(50);
 }    
}

when I turn on the controller and the battery , I can see both the leds on the receiver and the controller stop blinking, indicating that they are connected.
when I try to use the joystick or any button, nothing, literally nothing happens. I don't know what is wrong and would appreciate any help
thanks

start simple

remove the motors, connect only the PS2 receiver and modify the code to print the commands you receive. Ensure this works.

Once you have that fully working then add the motors

11

Hey, It is the same project. I am new to the community, and still learning things. sorry for wasting your time.

12

Hello, do yourself a favour and please read How to get the best out of this forum

I merged both threads.

thanks. appreciate it.
