Possible script error in RetroPie?

[Floob]

I may well be wrong with this, or doing something wrong, but I think there may be a small error in
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/ps3controller.sh

In function configure_ps3controller
it runs a test with sixpair here:
if ./sixpair | grep -q "Setting master"; then

but I dont think sixpair is in the path, hence it never runs and the -if- always fails.

Should it specify the full path of
/opt/retropie/supplementary/ps3controller
in order to run sixpair?

I ask because my setup always fails when I run it, but if I manually run the check with the full path it is fine.

I am running RetroPie 2.4.1

Could be. I had the same problem with 2.4.1 and replaced sixad driver with a current bluetooth daemon with sixaxis support.

Using the latest bluez for PS3 bluetooth (how-to)

I will take a look if sixad runs again with the right path.

Great, thanks for looking into it.

Have to say, besides that issue, the setup script worked fine for me. I didnt have to configure or install anything else at all.
It recognizes the bluetooth device on reboot so is pretty much complete.

Just added a potential fix:

Thanks a lot! I’m sure that will sort it out.
I’ll give the next release a go and see if the script as a whole gets everything up and running in one go.
