Are you able to get the PS3 controller to always remember your pairing? Mine does sometimes, but sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes it won’t register as a js#, and I have to reboot. I wonder if it has anything to do with when you turn it on… I’m thinking if I turn it on too early, before the Raspberry Pi is done booting, it won’t get recognized. I have yet to test this more, because at the moment I just cross my fingers everytime I start it up.

Also, the lights don’t stop flashing and it doesn’t auto shut off, which is annoying because if you forget to turn it off (which requires holding the PS button for like 15 whole seconds), the battery dies quickly.
