I am trying to use a PS3 controller to drive a remote-controlled robot. I have made sure that the controller I bought was Sony-made and that the BT dongle I got worked properly.
I am using an unmodified version of the PS3BT example from the USB Host Shield Library 2.0.
From what I can tell (I don't know this for sure) the ps3 controller's address is set to match the dongle's, and the Sony controller half-connects to the dongle but doesn't send a signal.
Here is the console output:
PS3 Bluetooth Library Started

The next line is supposed to be something like "Dualshock 3 Controller Enabled" & the serial would print out the inputs of the controller (but this doesn't happen, which is what I'm confused abt)
Notes:
I am using an Arduino Mega
When connecting the BT dongle the 2nd time, the PS3's lights are still blinking (you have to wait really long for them to turn off naturally).
Once the BT dongle is connected the 2nd time, the PS3's lights stop blinking and the light for #1 becomes solid.
I am powering the Arduino with both a Serial connection & a 9V battery
I have closed the solder pads on the USB Host Shield for 3.3 & 5V input power and the 5V VBUS power.
Thanks for any help
