Description
Works nicely with Arduino equipped robots
Range of around 10 meters, exceed when used outdoors
Two analog joysticks and 16 buttons available for robot control
Receiver adapter is included
The Lynxmotion PS2 Controller V4 is actually a 2.4ghz wireless Play Station 2 game controller. It includes a small receiver module with PS2 connector and two cables. No level shifter is required for this version of the remote control, though one can be used without issue. The Robot Controller requires two "AAA" batteries (not included) for use. The green LED on the receiver will blink when powered, and become solid when connection is established with the transmitter. Note that multiple units cannot be used in proximity as their signals will interfere with each other.
This Lynxmotion PS2 Controller V4 works perfectly with BotBoarduino or Arduino equipped robots. The controller has a range of around 10 meters, more when used outdoors. Two analog joysticks and 16 buttons available for robot control. The receiver adapter is included as well as mounting hardware and cables.
Fonctionne très bien et le code source fourni fonctionne sans problème.

With the right pins and librairy, works great!
At first I could not make the controller work with Arduino Uno. After contacting the support from Robotshop, it seems I had a new version of the controller (2 LED, one green and one red on the receiver and black and white logo). You need to use the library from Bill Porter website (and not the one from Lynxmotion) and use the original pins on the arduino (13, 11, 10, 12), as in the PS2_example from the librabry. If so, everythig works great! Thanks again to the support staff!

Controller not working
I have been around and around this issue. Uploaded the PS2X arduino_mega code: result, no message on serial monitor only a line of characters (something like machine language). Pressing buttons on gamepad just make the character line grow longer. Tested wires for connectivity all ok, voltage on digital pin V5 = 4.79 to 4.81. Been on Bill Porter's site, tried all suggested tips, no way, doesn't work. Got the lynxmotion PS2X library installed, it just doesn't work. Maybe the controller is defective...Robotshop, please contact me if you have any suggestion to help me or is a replacement possible? So one star for now. Update: In a matter of a few hours, problem was solved via technical support. My serial monitor picture indicated that my baud rate was set at 9600 instead of 57600. Changing that was the solution. Thank you for your quick support. Robotshop is a very professional company with dedicated employees. I am back to my project now and the Lynxmotion PS2 controller works just fine.

Le contrôleur ne fonctionne pas
J'ai été autour et autour de ce problème. Téléchargement du code arduino_mega PS2X: résultat, pas de message sur le moniteur série seulement une ligne de caractères (quelque chose comme le langage machine). Appuyez sur les boutons de la manette de jeu pour allonger la ligne de caractère. Les fils testés pour la connectivité sont tous ok, tension sur la broche numérique V5 = 4,79 à 4,81. J'ai été sur le site de Bill Porter, j'ai essayé tous les conseils suggérés, aucun moyen, cela ne fonctionne pas. Vous avez installé la bibliothèque lynxmotion PS2X, cela ne fonctionne tout simplement pas. Peut-être que le contrôleur est défectueux ... Robotshop, veuillez me contacter si vous avez des suggestions pour m'aider ou un remplacement est-il possible? Donc une étoile pour le moment. Mettre à jour: En quelques heures, le problème a été résolu via le support technique. L'image de mon moniteur série indiquait que mon débit en bauds était fixé à 9600 au lieu de 57600. Changer cela était la solution. Merci pour votre soutien rapide. Robotshop est une entreprise très professionnelle avec des employés dévoués. Je suis de retour à mon projet maintenant et le contrôleur Lynxmotion PS2 fonctionne très bien.
