Reply To: Dualshock 4 Controller via Bluetooth

[Anonymous]

Here are the exact commands I use to get my controller to work:
1) Install Drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez-utils blueman
2) Check if Bluetooth is working
lsusb
/etc/init.d/bluetooth status (you should get: [ ok ] bluetooth is running.)
3) Scan and Ping Device
hcitool scan (Press the PS-Button and the share-Button at the same time to enter Pairing mode on the Controller)
sudo l2ping -c 1 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx %Replace xx with mac-address
4) Connect Device (This works for me only if i paste these commands and execute them immediately one after the other)
sudo bluez-simple-agent hci0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
sudo bluez-test-device trusted xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx yes

5) Remove Device (if you need to delete a Device)
sudo bluez-simple-agent hci0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx remove

As I wrote for pairing i have to prepare the 2 commands separately and paste them in putty as fast as possible.

I’m no expert but can you try to remove the device (Execute the command 2 or 3 times, you should get a long message which ends with Does Not Exist

What message do you get if you ping the controller?
You should get something like this: sudo l2ping -c 1 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
