Hello to everyone! I've just bought a ps2 remote controller for my arduino nano and uno. I've downloaded a ps2x lib, connected everything according to the code - and nothing worked. Already trying to make it work for a couple of hours. Yes, i have seached for my problem, read a bunch of forums. I bought my controller on "ozon" (a russian shop), it didn't have any specifications, even a brand. Hope someone can help me. As i already said, the connection is done according to the code, but here is the image if connection:
the lib i use:
the code (it is a lib's example):
#include <PS2X_lib.h> //for v1.6
/******************************************************************
* set pins connected to PS2 controller:
* - 1e column: original
* - 2e colmun: Stef?
* replace pin numbers by the ones you use
******************************************************************/
#define PS2_DAT 13 //14
#define PS2_CMD 11 //15
#define PS2_SEL 10 //16
#define PS2_CLK 12 //17
/******************************************************************
* select modes of PS2 controller:
* - pressures = analog reading of push-butttons
* - rumble = motor rumbling
* uncomment 1 of the lines for each mode selection
******************************************************************/
//#define pressures true
#define pressures false
//#define rumble true
#define rumble false
PS2X ps2x; // create PS2 Controller Class
//right now, the library does NOT support hot pluggable controllers, meaning
//you must always either restart your Arduino after you connect the controller,
//or call config_gamepad(pins) again after connecting the controller.
