USB Host Shield - PS3USB

Hello all -

I'm working on a project to try to implement a PS3 controller into a friends project. He has a USB Host Shield:
http://www.circuitsathome.com/products-page/arduino-shields/usb-host-shield-2-0-for-arduino with the libraries:
GitHub - felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0: Revision 2.0 of USB Host Library for Arduino., and a Arduino Uno.

We have the libraries installed, and everything compiles. We've run the 'board_qc.ino' sketch, and it does recognize other devices (2 different phones, flash drives), as we do get the descriptor, class, PID, VID, etc. output to the serial monitor.

But, we cannot get it to connect to the PS3 remote. When the remote is connected, 'checking USB device communication' is all we get. This is over the WIRE USB connection. We aren't even fooling around with the bluetooh connection yet. Baby steps.

Does anyone with experience with this library or the PS3 controller that might be able to help?

Thanks, Jim
