Hi guys,
I bought a USB shield and a USB Bluetooth dongle (this one: http://www.tmart.com/Micro-Mini-USB-EDR-V2.0-Wireless-Bluetooth-Dongle-Adapter_p86763.html) so I could connect my PS3 controller with bluetooth. I am following this guide http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php/topic,137747.0.html, but I am stuck on step one. I run the PS3BT sketch with everything plugged in, but when I open the serial monitor all it says is "PS3 Bluetooth Library Started", and it doesn't show the dongle's MAC address (which it should). My USB Bluetooth dongle is blinking, and I am sure I bought the correct version of dongle (EDR V 2.0). The baud rate is also correct at 115200. Has this happened to anybody else? Any help is very much appreciated.
I have the same problem. I tried 3 different dongles. Did you ever resolve this??
Note that if I run the board_qc sketch it sees the device?
I've got the exact same issue. Any guidance greatly received!
i had the same problem this is what i did,
i started the sketch, the message "PS3 Bluetooth Library Started" apeared e nothing else happened, so i reseted the controller, removed the dongle and pluged again the joystick in the arduino, so i started pressing the buttons and they appeared in the screen, so, aparently even if the messages do not show in the screen the sketch still working and save the mac address in the joystick.
