There are two options to install this library: either install it globally in the ESP-IDF folder so all of your projects can make use of it, or install it locally in your project folder. Getting Started with ESP-IDF Installing the library

The Ps3Demo sketch showcases how to access (almost) all of the controller data made available by this library.ДЇinally, Ps3Accelerometer allows you to draw live graphs of the accelerometer data inside the PS3 controller by using Tools -> Serial Plotter.

This allows your code to quickly react on controller input even when you have multiple delay() calls in your loop(). Take a look at the Ps3DataNotify to see how you can attach a notification function which gets triggered every time new data is received from the PS3 controller. Take a look at the Ps3Data sketch to see how you can access the controller data values. Try to connect to the PS3 controller first with the Ps3Connect sketch. In order to learn more about how to use this library, please refer to the example sketches in the Arduino IDE with File -> Examples -> PS3 Controller Host: You can initialize the library using Ps3.begin(mac), passing a string with the MAC address stored in the PS3 Controller. To use this library in your sketch, include it with Sketch -> Include Library -> PS3 Controller Host. Search for PS3 Controller Host, and click Install. Open the Library Manager with Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries. You can install the Arduino library from within the Arduino IDE. Open the Boards Manager with Tools -> Board: 'xxx' -> Boards Manager, look for esp32 (probably the last one in the list), and click Install.ДЇinally, select the ESP32 board you have with Tools -> Board: 'xxx' under the section ESP32 Arduino (I always have ESP32 Dev Module selected). In case you haven't yet, you can add the ESP32 boards to your Arduino IDE by adding them to the Boards Manager: Open File -> Preferences, and paste the following URL in the Additional Boards Manager URLs field: Ps3SetBluetoothMacAddress(new_mac) Getting Started with Arduino Installing the ESP32 board

Note for ESP-IDF: If you opted to change the ESP32's MAC address, you'll need to include this snippet in your code before calling ps3Init(), where the MAC address should match with the one stored on the PS3 controller: I used SixaxisPairTool for this, but you can try using sixaxispairer as well, if open source is important to you. Whichever path you choose, you're going to need a tool to read and/or write the currently paired MAC address from the PS3 controller. Therefore, if you want to connect your PS3 controller to the ESP32, you either need to figure out what the Bluetooth MAC address of your PS3 console is and set the ESP32's address to it, or change the MAC address stored in the PS3 controller. This initiates writing the console's MAC address to the controller. Usually, this pairing happens when you connect the controller to the PS3 console using a USB cable, and press the PS button. When a PS3 controller is 'paired' to a PS3 console, it just means that it has stored the console's Bluetooth MAC address, which is the only device the controller will connect to. However, Arduino is supported too! Pairing the PS3 Controller: This library is meant to be used with Espressif's ESP-IDF IoT Development Framework. Control your ESP32 projects with a PS3 controller!
