Sony Playstation 2 controller to PIC - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

I want to interface a sony playstation 2 controller to a PIC for robot controller.

Also I would use a wireless PS2 controler so I could control the robot wirelessly.

Any Idea's

This should be fairly easy. The PS2 controller protocol is well known.

Thanks, but still open for other idea's

I have code for the 16F877 that interfaces with a PS1 controller. I wouldn't think
that it would be to difficult to get it to talk to a PS2 controller.
I havn't looked into the differences so I could not say for sure.

As for the wireless portion I would expect that it would be transparent to the PS2.

I used a PS1 controller and a set of wireless trancievers to control a robot. Worked like
a charm.

Good luck,

I have a basic schematic for an AVR version here (for PSX). If you figure out how to request data from these PS2 types please let me know because no one seems to have data on them.

Hey kingpin094 you think you can send me a e-mail of the code?

Kingpin094 · 23rd April 2005, 03:35 PM

Here is the code for the PS1 controller. I didn't origonally write it but when I got the code I had
to modify it a lot to get it to work.
This program will read the controller and dump the data out the hardware UART. Crystal is 4MHz.

Hope this gets you started.

Tell us know if you make any progress. This is very interesting. 8)

No problem.

I am in the process of choosing the PIC.

That sounds like a cool project GTAman

Roboticinfo · 27th April 2005, 05:15 AM

It is, and I am using it to control one of many robot's.

Gadget · 27th April 2005, 05:18 AM

So you must build alot?

Gadget · 27th April 2005, 05:20 AM

I like to build robot's?

Roboticinfo · 27th April 2005, 05:40 AM

I build about 2 robot's every 2 week's?

But can't do any this month do to building my hi-tech shed.
