hello ,
how do I connect the ps3 controller to an arduino wirelessly ?
and what are the equipment that I need in order to do that
I have a small car which has 2 motors and I'm using 6 buttons to control it . So basically Instead of using my button controller , I want to use a ps3 controller for it.
Thanks

This strikes me as funny. How do I connect a PS3 to an Arduino without making any connections?

Perhaps you need to explain the whole project.

PS3 controllers are bluetooth devices, so you'll need a bluetooth module/shield. Circuits@Home have a USB host shield that supports usb bluetooth dongles, and they have a PS3 controller library for it.

I didn't find a store in the UK that seals bluetooth module/shield , so should I buy Arduino Mega ADK ?
