i'm a complete noob to microprocessors and the arduino and i just got my arduino a couple of days ago but i already have some plans for it, but i do not know how to go about doing it. i want to be able to control an rc car using my playstation controller, but i do not want to buy the servo package or the xbee wireless shield. i read online that i could just buy a cheap rc car with a radio transmitter and hook the transmitter up with the arduino and use the arduino to send signals to the transmitter which in turns controls the car. but how do i go about hooking it up to the arduino? i could not find a guide online.
also how do i make the playstation controller interface with the arduino? does the arduino IDE have a library to do that?
I think the only internal differences between the Dualshock on PlayStation and PlayStation2 is that the latter adds pressure sensitive reports for all buttons, whereas the first model only had it for some.
i actually found a ps2 analog library...the only problem is how to connect the ps2 to the arduino. i've found a way online to do it, but i don' want to cut the ps2 wires, seems like a watse of money. i just hope there is a way to the controller to the arduino without cutting the wries.
