Hi,
(Sorry for my bad English but i'm a stupid french).

I finally managed to connect in bluetooth my raspberry PI 3 (monsterBorg) and my PS3 controller (It's an official Sony PS3 Controller).

My problem now is this:
I start my monsterBorg: OK
I connect my PS3 controller in bluetooth: OK
I can move forward and back with the left stick: OK
I can not turn right or left (with the right stick): NOK
if I press the L2 or R2 button, nothing happens: NOK
BUT if R2 / L2 was pressed then I can not move forward / backward normally (with the left stick) only the right wheels turn.

Do you have any idea what's going on?
thanks for your help
Thierry

Just to confirm the MonsterBorg should turn left / right when the left stick is pushed forward and the right stick is pushed left / right at the same time.

If that is not the case it probably means the values in the "Settings for the joystick" section of the monsterJoy.py script are probably wrong. The values that probably need changing are:

  • axisLeftRight - Should be the axis number for moving the right stick left and right
  • buttonSlow - Should be the L2 button number
  • buttonFastTurn - Should be the R2 button number

There are some instructions here for figuring out what the correct numbers are.
