PlayStation 3 Joystick Driver for ROS
This package provides a driver for the PS3 (SIXAXIS or DUALSHOCK3) bluetooth joystick.
This driver provides a more reliable connection, and provides access to the joystick's accelerometers and gyroscope. Linux's native support for the PS3 joystick does lacks this functionality.
Additional documentation:
Dependencies
- joystick
- libusb-dev
- bluez-5.37
Pairing instructions
If you can connect the joystick and the bluetooth dongle into the same computer connect the joystick to the computer using a USB cable.
Load the bluetooth dongle's MAC address into the ps3 joystick using:
sudo bash
rosrun ps3joy sixpair
If you cannot connect the joystick to the same computer as the dongle, find out the bluetooth dongle's MAC address by running (on the computer that has the bluetooth dongle):
hciconfig
If this does not work, you may need to do
sudo hciconfig hci0 up
and retry
hciconfig
Plug the PS3 joystick into some other computer using a USB cable.
Replace the joystick's mac address in the following command:
sudo rosrun ps3joy sixpair 01:23:45:67:89:ab
Starting the PS3 joystick
- Run the following command
rosrun ps3joy ps3joy.py
- Open a new terminal and reboot bluez and run joy with:
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth
rosrun joy joy_node
- Open a new terminal and echo the joy topic
rostopic echo joy
This should make a joystick appear at /dev/input/js?
You can check that it is working with jstest /dev/input/js? (replace ? with the name of your joystick)
Limitations
This driver will not coexist with any other bluetooth device. In future releases, we plan to allow first non-HID and later any bluetooth device to coexist with this driver. The following devices do coexist:
- Non-HID devices using a userland driver, such as one written using pybluez.
- Keyboards or mice running in HID proxy mode, which appear to the kernel as USB devices.
