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 .

because 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

What are you intending to do, once they are connected?

I don't know about PS3, but this page link to tutorials showing how to do it with PS2
going to a Botboard, which is just a typical microcontroller. Sorry if the connection
diagrams are rather obtuse, but a lot of info is there.

The lynxmotion device comes with a receiver that you connect to the controller board
[Arduino] to read the pulses.
