Great! Was exactly looking for this. Thanks for sharing.

@Sammy
You are welcome! It is always nice to see that people find it useful 🙂

Amazing! I don’t have arduino, but do use PICAXE. Got any tips for connections? i.e. what do I need to serial out to connect? Will serial out and in work?
Thanks a bunch

@Raggy
You will need the USB Host Shield: http://shop.tkjelectronics.dk/product_info.php?products_id=43 for it to work, but for now PICAXE is not supported by the library.

Anyway they communicate via SPI. The relevant code is in the following file: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/usbhost.h.

I cant get a working dongle?!? Ive tried 3 of the cheap half mooned ebay ones and no luck. Any help?

@Matt
What errors are you getting when you plug them in?
There is a list of working dongles here: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/wiki/Bluetooth-dongles.

Hey ive been trying to use this library with a USB host sheild I got online but when I run the PS3BT script my serial monitor just returns random symbols. Has any one else experienced this issue and found a way to resolve it?

@Jake
You need to set the baudrate in the serial monitor to 115200. See the dropdown menu in the bottom right.

Hi,

I have purchased the USB Shield and cant wait to get on with it, I really appreciate your efforts and this great work.

I am currently planning to build a robot and was doing some research on interfacing XBOX 360 controller via BT and came across your great site, I will be going through the information provided should I require any assistance will be in touch.

Thanks

Azim

@Azim
Glad to hear you like my work 🙂 Note that the Xbox 360 wireless controller needs a special wireless receiver and is NOT using Bluetooth.
Please see: http://blog.tkjelectronics.dk/2012/12/xbox-360-receiver-added-to-the-usb-host-library/.

Hi guys!

(First of all, sorry for my english level, I’m not an native english speaker…)

So, I’m a newbie for Arduino stuff, but I’d like to start a project whit it. I want to control a very simple illumination system, you know turn on/off some lights maybe a dimmer.

I’ve read this could be done by an Android device, but if it’s possible, i’d like to control it whit a PS controller, I dont care if PS3 or PS4.

Does anybody think it could be possible to do whitout the USB host shield? because if I do that I’ll do it whit a BT shield and I’ll use Arduino UNO.

Hope anyone could help me!

Thanks for reading!

@Joe M
No you can’t use a normal Bluetooth shield, as it doesn’t support Bluetooth HID. Also the PS3 controller behaves a bit different, as you need to send a special command to it before it starts sending out data.
If you want to know more about it, then see the PS3 wiki I wrote: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/wiki/PS3-Information.

@Lauszus

Hi Lauszus! Thank you for reply!

I’ve already bought the usb shield and BT dongle, so I could run the example!

Then I got a bunch of doubts XD. Let me explain you and maybe (I hope) you can help me.

The thing is, I want to use a couple of outputs to control a little DC motor, but if you could tell me how to turn on a led it’ll be more than useful!

So, it’s posible to do? And if yes…. how can i do it?

Thank you again, take care 🙂

@Joe M
It’s really simple 🙂

Here is some example code:

Note that if you are using an Arduino Uno, then you can not use the build in LED, as pin 13 is used by the shield for SPI communication.

Man, you’re so kind! I found that code very helpful. But now I got a new problem ( sorry again I’m new on this 🙁 ). When I pair de DS4 sometimes I lost the connection after 3 mins. I suppose that it ain’t normal. Haha… I tried using a new dongle (trendnet TBW 107 UB) but the arduino can’t recognise it.

Do you think it’s a matter of the first dongle, or code…. Maybe bad luck? Hahaha

Thank you very much for your replies and help.

Ps. Sorry for write my feedback almost 10 days after your reply.

@Joe M
Make sure that the dongle is getting a stable 5V also make sure that there is actually battery left on the PS4 controller? You can use the following function to read the battery level: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/2c5f5e8c0964c1639265486b6fac17739a55f1d2/PS4Parser.h#L259-L265.

Also what is the output when it disconnects?

@Lauszus

Man! Thank you very much! you was very helpful!! Seriously, you helped me a lot whit my final project!
The trouble was the input to arduino, (wasn’t 5V stable as you said).
Then I was able to control a RC car using DS4, USB Shield, the BT dongle and Arduino UNO!

Again, thank you very much!

Take care man, Cheers from Mexico!

@Joe M

HAhaha I wrote “you was” I ment “You were”

Just a little mistake XD Sorry!.

@Joe M
Glad to hear that everything worked out for you 🙂

@Lauszus,

Awesome work first of all! I’ve used the PS4USB library without a hitch, however with the PS4BT example, it seems that I can only pair the PS4 with the dongle once…. in a while, and after that they can no longer pair (LED keeps flashing rapidly then eventually the controller shuts off). I know that in your instructions it says I only need to pair it once, and then I can just create an instance like this: PS4BT PS4(&Btd); and then simply press the PS button. But when I do that, the PS4 will just begin looking for the console (slow flashing LED) and not connect with the BT dongle…and suggestions? Thanks!

@Tony W
Please enable serial debugging: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0#enable-debugging and send me the output 😉

@Tony W Exact same problem here. Not sure if its circumstantial but I can’t connect at all if the terminal window is open.

@Lee
Please see my reply above. If you don’t paste the output it is impossible for me to see what is going on.

Sorry – I completely missed that your response there was to Tony’s question… ok so I’ve enabled serial debugging and this is the only output. My computer is a mac mini and both the keyboard and mouse are connected via bluetooth. Its interesting that it shows something is connected but I have no idea what as there is no indication that the PS4 controller or anything else is actually connected.

btw the output really does say Wireles (e.g. that isn’t a retype/cut/paste error)

I forgot to mention in my previous post that the front LED goes solid white – so maybe it does some to be connected at some level but is not getting complete connection?

I’m still completely unable to get a connection in non-pairing mode. In paring mode I can get it connected maybe one time in 5.

in non pairing mode it sits at the waiting for connection even though it says its connected

Ideas?

I’m guessing there is a problem in the if condition inside the run function in BTHID where it seems that in some cases the following block never gets executed.

hmmm ok so it seems that that word “Wireles” is in fact the problem. For whatever reason it should be getting the entire phrase “Wireless Controller” to identify it in the code as a PS4 and since its not getting the entire phrase it wasn’t setting the incomingPS4 value to true which in turn was keeping the connectToHIDDevice value from getting set to true so it was never entering into the block of code I mentioned in the previous note.

I’m not sure why its only getting this partial phrase but on the two PS4 controllers I have I’m consistently getting Wireles and not “Wireless Controller” anyway, here is a hack i’ve added to BTD.cpp as a workaround.

replace the if block starting at line 824 with this code in BTD.cpp and it fixes my problem

sorry to be filling up your message board with comments – I just wanted to put one of thanks in here – this is truly a remarkable effort and your contribution is massively appreciated! Awesome work on this!

Hello Lauszus,
I have a problem when I want to connect my new PS4 controller by USB to my Arduino Due.
I programmed my Due with the PS4USB.ino and I added the line #include but when I connected the controller and launched it with the button ‘PS’, the controller blinked 6 times and turned off.
Have you a solution to connect the controller ?
Vincent

@Lee
This is a problem with your dongle. That errors is because your dongle doesn?t not support 2.0+EDR, so the last bytes are not received.

So unfortunately you will have to buy a new dongle. There is a list of dongles available here: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/wiki/Bluetooth-dongles, but I recommend just buying some from a bunch of different sellers and then you will most likely get some that work.

@VincentC
Did you follow these instructions: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0#ps4-library?

Also please enable serial debugging: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0#enable-debugging.

Does it important to connect PS4 controller with Bluetooth before to connect by USB ? Else I did all instructions for USB connection.

I have activated debugging in settings.h but I haven’t any debug on Serial port. I tested my USB cable and my Arduino Due with an Arduino example with a mouse on usb host and it worked.

I think I haven’t any connexion problem between the Arduino Due and the PS4 controller.

Installation problem ?

Have you an explication ?

@VincentC
No you don’t need to connect it via Bluetooth first – maybe that wasn’t clear.

If nothing shows up, then it means that it does not register that you plug anything in. Please tell me what shield you are using and try to connect an external power supply to the Arduino.

I use the USB host onboard. It must be use a shield with Max3421?

@VincentC
Yes the native USB Host is not supported. It might be supported at some point, as it is in the works 😉

Thanks for this response 😀
So let’s go to program this 😉

hmm, just fyi, I consulted that list before I bought. The adapter in question is the gmyle with a link to amazon. I’ll try another to see if I can get different and hopefully better result.

2nd question are there any instructions for making another arduino talk to one with the shield/usb bt combo. I think the other arduino would just need a standard ble attached – as opposed to another host shield and usb bt but that info would be good info.

@Lee
Just order a couple of different ones from China, then you should receive a couple that will work 😉

No not yet, as only SPP server is supported for now. I have been working on a SPP client as well, but never got the time to finish it. The code is available here: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/tree/SPPClient.

You will need a Bluetooth adapter that can configured into host mode in order to connect to the other Arduino.

@Lauszus – ok, I ordered another one. btw, I’m using a standard arduino USB host shield not the Circuits@home – could that be the issue?

Would you mind commenting on why neither your library (nor most arduino libraries) use callback style functionality? It just makes for such a messy main loop when you have to constantly poll a function as opposed to an event getting raised back out to a callback? Is that just due to the implicit standard or is there an actual technical reason not to use callbacks?

Also, it looks like the ds4 does not send a final message when the joysticks return to home – if I simply look at the last received message it could indicate that the joystick location is 20% or more off of the home position. It does look possible to more/less infer when the stick is at home as the message stream stops so I can determine home by setting a timer and if there is no update in x milliseconds then it must be at home. Is there any other way to do this?

thanks for the client code – will try to take a look over the weekend

@Lee
Yes that can be the issue. Please use the official shield in order to support the actual developers of the hardware and software.

The library works by each driver registers themselves – see https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/58a143b9fb1b8fc7c7b4568b74d3b9f175a2302b/BTD.cpp#L44-L45 and https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/58a143b9fb1b8fc7c7b4568b74d3b9f175a2302b/UsbCore.h#L215-L223 and the different classes are then call in Usb.Task(). For instance here Poll is called: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/58a143b9fb1b8fc7c7b4568b74d3b9f175a2302b/Usb.cpp.

The code does in fact using callback some places. Here is an example: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/58a143b9fb1b8fc7c7b4568b74d3b9f175a2302b/examples/Bluetooth/BTHID/BTHID.ino.
The only thing that is called in the loop is Usb.Task(), but you could differently call this in an interrupt if you wanted to.

What do you mean by home? Are you talking about when it disconnects? But yes using a timer is the proper way to do it.

Hello,
it could be possible to use a new BT shield (ble shield ) and Arduino UNO?

@@Stella
No that is not possible. Shield like that normally only support SPP and I need HID host in order to talk with the PS4 controller.

@Lauszus
Hello! I’m new here and I’m trying to use this setup to control an RC

I’d like to ask if it’s possible to have the R2 and L2 buttons to control the motors? If so, how do I get around to doing so I’m so lost right now. Any tips?

@Donut
Simply use the analogWrite function: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/analogWrite.

Then you can simply do something like this:

Hello @Lauszus, thank you for the help!
Sorry for the late reply but I’ve been working on a drone for an engineering project and I’ve come across another hurdle!

I need help with programming a 180º servo to work with the PS4, as of right now I’ve got

if (PS4.connected()) {
myservo.write(map(PS4.getAnalogHat(RightHatX), 0, 255, 0, 180));
}
else
{
myservo.write(90);
}

But this doesn’t seem to be doing anything at all, please advice

@Donut
Did you remember to attach the servo as well: http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/ServoAttach?

Hi Lauszus !!

I have a PS4 wireless controller from sony which comes with it’s own usb bluetooth dongle . The interfacing of the PS4 controller with Arduino Mega ADK is not at all smooth . Sometimes it succesfully gets connected , sending the correct data which i can see on the serial monitor of the Arduino . While on some occasions there is no connection .

Moreover sometimes even when the connection is succesfull , i am getting an error –
HCI command failed : 01 and
Unknown Report type : 11 while the data that the PS4 wireless controller is sending is correct for the

The error is for all the buttons on the PS4 controller while the data received for the corresponding button is correct .

Any idea as to what may be happening ?

@Vinit
Can you send me a link to the controller you are using?

what about how can ? use ps4 or ps3 controller with wireless dongle on host shield?
can you help me?

@cem
Please see the provided documentation: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0#ps4-library and examples: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/examples/Bluetooth/PS3BT/PS3BT.ino and https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/examples/Bluetooth/PS4BT/PS4BT.ino.

Sorry to be late !!

Link for the controller – http://www.sony.co.in/product/ps4+dualshock+wave+blue .

@Vinit
It’s sounds like a problem with your dongle. Please try another one.

Hello,
I am using two PS4 controllers to control two robots with arduino Uno simultaneously. But, the PS4 often loses synchronization with the arduino. As soon as 1 controller loses sync, the other one loses it immediately. And this happens very often. Please help!!!

@Krunal
Can you post your code somewhere? For instance here: https://gist.github.com/.

Also make sure that you have a stable 5V rail.

@Lauszus
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/krunal2103/c5a30bde4787ddc90e61/raw/9192b6fb13e0bd0ca779e0d79c0d7a71514ad04c/PS4%20Controlled%20Robot

Both the Robots have similar code.

@Krunal
You need to remove these lines: https://gist.github.com/krunal2103/c5a30bde4787ddc90e61#file-ps4-controlled-robot-L116-L119.

@Lauszus
Actually I had put that line because if the connection is lost, I had to upload the program again to pair the controllers.
And also how can i cahnge the pairing key for the controller?

@Krunal
That is not the correct way to do it!

You should call:

But why do you want to pair it again and again? It is only needed once. After that you can simply just press on the PS button on the controller.

@Lauszus
Actually while using 2 controllers, there is aproblem occuring that the controllers often get disconnected. I thought it will be so;ved if I change the pairing key for anyone controller which is set to 0000 by default. Bu how to do that?

@Krunal
Please remove that line first. I might be the reason why they are disconnecting. The pairing key doesn’t matter for the PS4 controllers.

@Lauszus
Ohkk. Now even after removing that line, theres a problem coming. Consider that one of my controllers is connected, when I try to connect my second controller, the first one is disconnected if the second one goes into partial pairing mode (ie a constant white led is on). But this happens often. So please tell me a solution for this.

@Krunal
Okay now I understand what you are trying to do. You need to make a instance for each controller. Please see this example for the PS3 controller for inspiration: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/examples/Bluetooth/PS3Multi/PS3Multi.ino.

Hello, my son and I are willing to connect PS4 controller using Arduino due native USB port, but seems that Bluetooth dongle is not recognised by the library. We tried also with PS3 controller (and related software) but same bad result.
Do the library support also native USB port or only USB shield?
Thank you

@Marco
Unfortunately the Due native port is not supported as of yet, but this is something we are working on supporting. Hopefully it will get released in a couple of months.

If you can’t wait, then you can buy a shield. The API should be almost the same in the new library, so you won’t have to rewrite your code once it is released.

I’m attempting to use a PS4 controller over BT. It doesn’t seem very stable at all, and there are delays that happen when using the PS4BT sketch. For instance I will press the up button which should turn the LED red. IT doesn’t. I press it again, and then it lights up red. I next press right, which should go to blue, but it stays red. Then I press it again and it finally goes to blue. I do see the button presses happening, but the led isn’t responding right. After a short bit of time the controller loses connection for whatever reason and won’t reconnect.

@Frank
Make sure that there is actually battery left on the PS4 controller. Also please enable serial debugging: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0#enable-debugging and post the output.

@Lauszus – Thanks for the quick reply. I picked up a different dongle and it seems to be working much better, but still not 100%. I have a fully charged PS4 controller, so that isn’t the problem. I paired the controller while running PS4BT.ino, and when finished the controller LED turned BLUE, and all the controls functioned correctly.

Next, I comment out the PAIR line and uncommented the corressponding line. When I ran it, the controller appears to connect, but the light doesn’t turn BLUE, and none of the controls do anything. What are your suggestions?

Here is the log from that run:

@Frank
It still looks like a problem with your dongle. Could you try to replace this line: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/BTD.cpp#L393 with:

And: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/BTD.cpp#L619 with:

That seemed to work better, but not perfect. Now it either connects correctly (turns BLUE), or else it tries for a moment then stops with (Connection Failed: 10).

Since it is most likely my dongle, I think I will just order one through your site. You should see the order come through soon.

@Frank
Yes the new dongle should solve your problem 🙂

I do have one suggestion if you get time. Could you make a singleton version of the PS4BT project? I have lots of different classes that need to get info from the controller, and a singleton would make it a whole lot easier to use.

Here some pseudo code of the ino that would use it…

#include “PS4BTSingleton.h”

void setup() {
// init usb
PS4BTSingleton::instance().init();
}

void loop() {
//usb task
PS4BTSingleton::instance().task();

// do something if connected
if (PS4BTSingleton::instance().connected())
PS4BTSingleton::instance().setLed(255, 0, 0);
}

@Frank
No I won’t make the official library a singleton, as you need to create more instances if you want to use multiple PS4 controller.

Why would you want to use a singleton in the first place?

I’m using the PS4 controller for my R2-D2 build. I only need one controller for the droid. Having a singleton would allow each module to have access to the controller instead of passing the instance around. I could then use it easily with my sound board, servo boards, lighting boards, etc.

It’s just a suggestion. Thought it would be easier for you since you know the ins and outs of the code that you could make a singleton version that sits side by side with the original.

Anyway, I did order the dongle, so hopefully that will fix that problem.

@Frank Trocchia
Okay cool. There is actually numerous people using my libraries for R2-D2’s 🙂
Hmm, I won’t do that, as it will break a lot of peoples code, but you can just make a new class which inherits it and make it a singleton?

Why can’t you just make it global and access it from the difference drivers? If they are C++ classes they could just take a pointer to the PS4BT class as an argument, just like the BTD class take a pointer to the USB class as an argument.

Yeah I will probably go that route. Thanks for all your help. Once the dongle arrives I will give it some tests and if anything is odd I will get back to you.

Thanks

@Frank Trocchia
Okay super 🙂

The new dongle works much better. I am curious though why it only fully connects every other time? Using the example code… when I start the controller it connects and the light turns blue. I press the PS button and it disconnects, with the light turning off. When I try to connect again, the light flashes briefly then turns on solid white. I hold the PS button for 10 seconds and the controller powers off. When I press the PS button again, it connects and the light turns blue. It just seems like every other time it connects properly.

Is there something wrong? Is there a timeout period, or some sort of cleanup code that isn’t called that should be?

Thanks

Here is a log. You can see it connects the first time… and then I hit PS and it disconnects. The next time it tries it starts the connection process, but just stops with the ‘Received Key Request’ message.

I don’t see where I’ve posted it, so I want to add that I’m using an Arduino Mega ADK, the bluetooth dongle I just received from you, and a stock PS4 controller.

Thanks

@Frank
That sounds very weird. Is it exactly every second time? Or does it just happen once in a while?

i have a arduino uno with the usb shield and the bluetooth dongle and i got it to connect to the remote but what i want to do it to use my ps4 controller to control an 8 relay module i have connected to pins 2-9 but I’m not getting no where with this sketch cause I’m new to this anyone can help?

So I am loving the simplicity this library gives the end user, however I am running into one small issue with PS4.getButtonClick(). It seems that when placed into an if statement, it will only be triggered as True once. If the button you are calling for is being held down, it won’t trip the if statement and will instead go over it. So my question is, what does PS4.getButtonClick() return? and how can I have it continuously perform an action via an if statement while the button is held?

@Mike O?Donnell
You are exactly right, as this is the feature of the getButtonClick() function.
In your case you should be using the PS4.getButtonPress() method as this will return the current state of the button and therefor work as you require.

@luis silva
Please share you code somewhere, so I can give you some hints. Also check out this code I wrote for a guy some time ago for the SPP library: https://gist.github.com/Lauszus/3383715.

@Mike O?Donnell
Yes getButtonPress() is what you are looking for. Also check out the documentation for the PS4BT class: http://felis.github.io/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/class_p_s4_b_t.html.

Hello!

I have stupid problem, but i am not able to get through.

All i need is with pressing button turn LED ON and with pressing another button turn that LED OFF.

Thanks so much for help!

@Jimmy
It can be done like this:

@Lauszus
Hello, me again 🙂 hoping there are some good news for the support of native usb port on Arduino Due.
Currently we are using the native port to receive input from a Mouse and control a VEX robot (via UART connection between Arduino and VEX).

Thank you

Marco & Luca

@Marco
Not it is not yet supported, but should be added to the 3.0 version of the library at some point: https://github.com/felis/UHS30.

hello!!
i use host shield for connecting ps4 to arduino for controlling robot…
but as soon as i give any input to analog pins , my ps4 gets disconnected….
what could be the reason???

@parth
Can you share you code somewhere, then I will have a look.

Hi,
I try to connect the PS4 controller with Arduino UNO, and I cant. I got this message:
PS4 Bluetooth Library Started
Bluetooth Dongle Initialized

can you help me?

@oleg
Please uncomment the following line: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/examples/Bluetooth/PS4BT/PS4BT.ino#L17, as it might have a hub inside.

Thanks. I uncomment that line but it did not work. I change the Dongle and push tighter the share and Ps for 5 seconds, and it works.

@oleg
Good to hear you got it working 😉

do you still have the code to PS3 instead?

@terrance
Yes it located at the same location as the PS4 library: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0.

@Lauszus
Hi there I notice that the USB Host Shield has been retired, you mentioned that you are working on getting the Due Native USB port working, have you managed to do this as yet?
Thanks
Simon

@simon watts
The shield is not retired only the version made by the Arduino team. You can get it from us if you live in EU: http://shop.tkjelectronics.dk or here: https://www.circuitsathome.com/products-page/arduino-shields if you live in USA.

No I have not worked on getting native usb host working. One of the reasons is that I do not own a Due.

@Lauszus
Thanks for the library…I have encountered a problem while working on PS4 via USB for my robotics… The PS4 controller sometimes disconnects from arduino” while its still plugged in “…
This happens less frequently but happens….I mean the Led is on in Ps4 but It gives no response….To check connection I added an ELSE case to the PS4USB example code like this..
void loop() {
Usb.Task();

if (PS4.connected()) {
// my code to run robot
}
else{
stop(); //stop the robot
digitalWrite(led,HIGH); // indicator led to check when it disconnects
}
}
After being disconnected we have to unplug ps4 then put it back again then it regains connection
Like I said ps4 is on but unresponsive…
We tried changing many circuits connected to arduino but problem still persists
I’m still confused from where this error is coming either from programming side or Circuits..Please help on disconnection issue

@Lauszus
Can you explain these line how they work..
if (Usb.Init() == -1) {
Serial.print(F(“rnOSC did not start”));
while (1); // Halt
}
Serial.print(F(“rnPS4 USB Library Started”));

@Uddhav
Those lines will initialise the USB host shield. I.e. it checks that SPI communication is working with the MAX3421E.

I’ve been using this library and the host shield for a long time, and I love it. I normally have been running a PS4 controller wired to the shield because I didn’t have a BT dongle. I finally got one, and am running the example sketch for PS4 BT.

I’m having issues with the PS4 controller and BT dongle keeping communication open. I get it paired, and it works great only for about 5 seconds. But they stop talking after that 5 seconds or so. When I press the PS button on the controller, they start talking again, for about 5 more seconds… rinse and repeat. I can tell when they are talking because I have the serial monitor open and am holding one of the joysticks to the side to have traffic to pass.

Here’s what I’ve done:
I upload the code, keeping the “PS4BT PS4(&Btd, PAIR);” line uncommented and active, and the “PS4BT PS4(&Btd);” line commented out. I pair the controller with the dongle. I switch those 2 lines of code, so now the “PS4BT PS4(&Btd, PAIR);” line is commented out, and the “PS4BT PS4(&Btd);” is active. I reupload the code. I open the serial monitor. I press the PS button and hold a joystick to the right. For a brief period, I get the values of the hats. Then, without me changing the stick position, the PS4 controller light goes out, and the serial monitor stops giving me new values for the stick position.

I’m really hoping that I just have a user error. Please help 🙂

@Shawn
Please enable serial debugging and post the output: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0#enable-debugging.

Hi,I’m Yuji.

I attach the usb?host shield to Arduino uno rev.3 and Intel Edison for Arduino, I try or PS4BT moves.
Arduino uno was able to move the PS4BT. But Intel was not able to move the PS4BT.

Intel Edison for Arduino, do you need to do something special process?

Since English is not good, I’m sorry if was hard to understand.

@Yuji
The Arduino Edison is currently not supported. Please see: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/issues?q=edison+label%3A%22Intel+Edison%22.

@Lauszus
I have “2 PS4 CONTROLLERS” and 2 bluetooth dongles connected to usb host shield.

Is it possible to connect ps4 controller to only “one” specific bth dongle…not other one.
or like having “seperate address” for each ps4 to connect to host shield dongle.

I’m trying to make two wireless controlled bots with ps4 controller using library example PS4BT.
So I want each bot to connect to specific controller not other one.

Please help…Thanks

I used the USB Host 2.0 library for a month, and loved it. Thank you.
All of a sudden, I can no longer pair up dongles with the PS3 controllers. I upload the code PS3BT and I start the serial monitor. The shield is detected ok. When I plug the dongle, nothing happens. I tried 5 dongles, from 5 brands, all version 3 or 4.

When I plug the PS3 controller still , nothing appears in the serial screen. I am desperate. I am using this for controlling an RC tank. It worked so nice for an hour and got un-paired.

Please help

Please run the following example: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/examples/board_qc/board_qc.ino and post the output.

I’m having the same issue as Shawn..
@Shawn, did you fix it?

Hey there,

first of all, i really love ur Library. Its real fun to play with my Ps4 Controller.
I first tested it with USB kabel and everything worked great. After this I tried it with the BT Dongle and unfortunately i got some problems with it.
I read many of the comments, and i already ordered other Bluetooth Dongles (some of the list of working Dongles), since mine wasn’t on that list.

But maybe im just a little too stupid pairing it ? 😉
I followed the instructions: holding down the “share” and “ps4” buttons and the led starts blinking rapidly. After about 30sec it stops blinking and i guess that there was no pairing.

Here the Serial Output before pairing ( after uploading the scetch:

S4 Bluetooth Library Started
Bluetooth Dongle Initialized
HCI Reset complete
Write class of device
Local Bluetooth Address: 00:11:22:98:76:54
Please enable discovery of your device

and while /after pairing attempt:

Gamepad found
HID device found
Now just create the instance like so:
BTHID bthid(&Btd);
And then press any button on the device
Connecting to HID device

Once i also got this Serial Output:

PS4 Bluetooth Library Started
Bluetooth Dongle Initialized
HCI Reset complete
Write class of device
Local Bluetooth Address: 00:11:22:98:76:54
Please enable discovery of your device

Connecting to HID device
HCI Command Failed: 0C
HCI Command Failed: 0C
HCI Command Failed: 0C

I also tried it with the USBHub class by uncommenting it. There it said:

PS4 Bluetooth Library Started
Bluetooth Dongle Initialized
HCI Reset complete
Write class of device
Local Bluetooth Address: 00:11:22:98:76:54
Please enable discovery of your device
Gamepad found
HID device found
Now just create the instance like so:
BTHID bthid(&Btd);
And then press any button on the device
Connecting to HID device
Connected to HID device

after this the PS4 controller was lightblue. i followed the instrucions and commented out the Pairing line, and uncommented the “PS4BT PS4(&Btd);” line. Then i uploaded the code.
After this i got some different behaviours. Once it said ps4 controller is connecting but then cam an error/fail message. In another try it said “No response to HCI Reset
” and the Led on the controller turned off.

Maybe u got some tipps for me? otherwise i hope another Dongle will work .

Greetings Patrick

hello , i want to send ps4 buttons data from bluetouth dongle to the ps4 by arduino .
what should i do ? can you help me about this?
tnx.

Hello,
thanks for building such a robust library.
I’ve been using it with an Xbox 360 controller and an Arduino and it works really nice. Currently I wanted to go smaller, so I decided to use a Teensy 3.1 with a USB host shield from sparkfun and I ran into problem when trying to connect a PS4 controller using a USB cable. To check if all the connections had been made correctly I ran a USBHIDBootMouse example. When I plug the mouse it?s being recognized and data goes through without a problem. Then I ran PS4USB (I want a wired connection to the controller) and I get stuck at ?PS4 USB Library Started?. I plug in the USB cable of the PS4 controller and nothing happens. I tried pushing ?share? and ?PS? buttons but to no avail (I?ve assume they?re just for BT but was desperate at this point). I?ve ran the debug mode, but no data, other than ?PS4 USB Library Started? appears on the serial monitor. When I run the mouse.ino I see additional data, but not when I run and connect a ps4 controller using USB. Do you think you could help me?
Best regards,

@Rafal
Can you try to run the following example: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/blob/master/examples/USB_desc/USB_desc.ino?

Hello,
Many thanks for your work!
I have some problem with getButtonPress function.

if (PS4.getButtonPress(LEFT)) {

getButtonPress is too fast response. I’m released the button but PS4.getButtonPress(LEFT) still return “true” for long time. How can I set configure ?

Thanks in advance for any advice,
Axebuddy

@axebuddy
Do you have any delays in your code?

@Kristian Sloth Lauszus
Thank you for your quick reply.

} if (PS4.getButtonPress(LEFT)) {
Serial.print(F(“rnLeft”));
PS4.setLed(Green);
}
I’m got about 89 “Left” message for short pressed.
ps. I’m use arduino DUE.

Thanks

I’m trying to power a DC motor through a H-bridge.
The answer I want from the program is that when I press the button the engine starts and when I release it stops, but with the following code this does not happen, I press the button and the engine turns on. But when I release the button the engine keeps running. I’m trying some code combinations but I’m not having an answer, can you help me?
Follow the code I’m using.

If (PS4.getButtonPress (CROSS))
       {
         AnalogWrite (VeloM4A, 100);
         AnalogWrite (VeloM4B, 0);
       }

Hi Kristian.
Thank you for this awsome peace of code.

I would like to enter pairing mode by the use of a “pair button” but as the instance is set outside setup()/loop() I am not sure how to implement this in code.
can anyone give me a hint on where to start? or if you have time, you could add functionality to the library 🙂
Thanks from Norway

@axebuddy
You should use the “getButtonClick” function instead.

@Rodrigo Alves Nunes
You probably want to do something like this:

@Helge Nodland
It is already supported. Simply call:

Hi kristian, i wonder if we can use the ps4 controler communicate with the arduino and at the same time using it to play with on the ps4 console?

Please help, it seems not work on new DualShock 4 Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4 – Jet Black (CUH-ZCT2) .

@antoine
Unfortunately this is currently not supported.

@Eddie Wong
Please open a issue on Github: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0/issues.

I am having the same issue as Frank. Where you able to fix this? Where did you find the list of working BT dongles? Also, I only get “PS4 Bluetooth Library Started” fro the serial, I don’t get the rest, where did I go wrong here? @Patrick

@Erick
You need to enable serial debugging: https://github.com/felis/USB_Host_Shield_2.0#enable-debugging.

Hello Lauszus,

I have been trying to connect my PS4 Controller tot he USB Shield for some time without success. At first I thought it was my BT dongle so I ordered one from your website. I just received dongle but still I am not having success in paring it and being able to read info from the controller. Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong or what I am missing?

I start with the pairing mode then I comment it out and uncomment the other part.

I am using an Arduino UNO with he USB Host Shield Arduino.

And the is what i get from the serial port.

Thanks for the library
i have try the Arduino mega 2560 with ps4 controller
how can i remove the Rumble when i press R2&L2 button

It is possible to use your library using an HM-10 Bluetooth module instead of the the USB Dongle+USB Shield? Those bluetooth modules can act as a Master or Slave

@Jower
No, that is not possible. The HM-10 module enumerates as an SPP device both in Slave and Master mode and can therefore not be used to connect to HID-type of devices.

Kristian,

I saw in the example you include some Teensy communication library. I love teensy.
How do I connect the USB shield to it. Physically, there is no SPI port on it,

Tnks

@Erick
Have you tried another Bluetooth dongle?
Alternatively, have you tried and been successful in connecting the controller to a computer using the same USB Bluetooth dongle?
