Hello,

I want to make my PS3 Controller via bt (usb works).
I've been googling for days and most (if not all) posts were talking about bluez 4.xx, while I have 5.22, which has the famous hidd tool. old-daemons use flag did not help.
Also, I found that there is an "--enable-sixaxis" flag since bluez 5.12, but don't know how to "pass" that to emerge. Is compiling on my own the right "gentoo way"?
I'm not familiar with ebuilds, so I can't do a lot...

Thanks! :)

If it's a sufficiently well-written ebuild you should be able to use EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-sixaxis" in package.env.

You don't need to pass "--enable-sixaxis", the bluez-5 ebuilds in Portage already do that. Furthermore since BlueZ 5.14 both DualShock 3 and 4 controllers are fully supported.

I used the following setup to get a DualShock 3 working via Bluetooth. I have also successfully tested a DualShock 4 via Bluetooth. The DualShock 4 requires Linux >=3.15 and has a slightly different pairing procedure.

Hardware

I'm using a Broadcom BCM20702A0 based Bluetooth 4.0 USB adapter.

Kernel

I'm using gentoo-sources-3.16.5.

Code:
    Device Drivers --->
          Input device support --->
            <*>   Joystick interface
            <*>   Event interface
          HID support --->
            <*>   Generic HID driver
                  Special HID drivers --->
                    <*> Sony PS2/3/4 accessories
                    [*]   Sony PS2/3/4 accessories force feedback support
                USB HID support --->
                  <*> USB HID transport layer
      [*] LED Support --->
            <*>   LED Class Support

BlueZ

I'm using bluez-5.21-r1.
  1. Start bluetoothctl.
    Code:
    $ bluetoothctl

  2. Enable the agent and set it as default.
    Code:
    [bluetooth]# agent on
    [bluetooth]# default-agent

  3. Power on the Bluetooth adapter, and set it as discoverable and pairable.
    Code:
    [bluetooth]# power on
    [bluetooth]# discoverable on
    [bluetooth]# pairable on

  4. Connect the DualShock 3 to the system using a USB cable and press the PlayStation button.
  5. Discover the DualShock 3 MAC address.
    Code:
    [bluetooth]# devices

  6. Disconnect the USB cable from the DualShock 3.
  7. Allow the service authorization request.
  8. Trust the DualShock 3.
    Code:
    [bluetooth]# trust <mac address>

  9. The DualShock 3 is now paired.
    Code:
    [bluetooth]# quit

  10. Turn the DualShock 3 off when it's no longer in use by pressing and holding the PlayStation button for 10 seconds.
  11. Press the PlayStation button to use the DualShock 3 again.


Update: I have added an article to the Gentoo Wiki covering DualShock 3 and DualShock 4 use via USB and Bluetooth.

Yes, it shows connected! :)

The LEDs keep blinking (I think that this is normal), but I can't find it in /dev and kernel does not report say anything.
Where is supposed the device to be? /dev/input?

The LED blinking issue when connected via Bluetooth was fixed in Linux 3.15. I'm using Linux 3.16 so the LEDs on my DualShock 3 don't blink. The device nodes should be /dev/hidraw[0-9] and /dev/input/js[0-9].

dmesg:

Thank you, after a reboot, it's all working :)
I'm on 3.14, so I got the LED blinking problem, but I don't care...

sorry for ressurecting the thread, but this seamed like the right place to go.

I've got 2 ps3 controllers that i want to connect over bluetooth, but i seam to be running into a brick wall.
Code:

[ 2241.639971] usb 3-2.3: new full-speed USB device number 7 using ohci-pci

I'm running BlueZ 5.25 and all the kernel options in the first post are enabled. and it works over USB (the /dev/input/js0 etc exists)
but this is where my problems start, i disconnect the USB cable and reconnect to the bluetooth service.

Code:

Eve djmadness # bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller 5C:F3:70:13:DD:57 BlueZ 5.25 [default]
[NEW] Device 00:1E:3D:DE:7E:08 RDA bt

        Class: 0x001f00
        Paired: no
        Trusted: no
        Blocked: no
        Connected: yes
        LegacyPairing: no


there is no devices in /dev/input/js* or /dev/hidraw* just no way to actually use it, am i doing something wrong or misunderstanding something ?

i've been fighting with this problem for days, resetting bluetooth settings and starting over and over again.
Could someone help me in the right direction ?

It appears that you don't have an official Sony DualShock controller. I believe these devices aren't supported by BlueZ.

You might be able to pair manually with sixpair. You only need the sixpair.c file and not the other patches listed on the site. The instructions are mostly outdated, but the section on pairing (3.2. Operation, third bullet point) should still be correct.

If that doesn't work, borrow (if possible) an official DualShock controller to ensure that the issue isn't with the Bluetooth adapter.

update, i gave up and returned it to the store, i found out that they did not follow the protocol, and there even was spelling mistakes in the product name in lsusb.
replaced them with original controllers and its working without issues, thanks for the guide and thanks for the help :)

1. Is there a command to run that can tell me what the battery status is?

2. for those struggling with poorly behaving clones (most of them are made by ShanWan) there is a patch that can be applied to BlueZ to make them work
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/61352/match=sixaxis

Works great for me with a dodgy ShanWan copy dualshock controller. not sure what the status is with it being merged into the BlueZ main, last I heard they were waiting for testing on some of the other controller type (eg Navigation Controller)

You can check the battery charge level via sysfs:
Code:
cat "/sys/class/power_supply/sony_controller_battery_04:76:6e:9a:98:fc/capacity"

You can also use UPower if it's installed.

1. Enumerate objects paths:
Code:
$ upower -e
/org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_sony_controller_battery_04o76o6eo9ao98ofc

2. Display information about object path:
Code:
$ upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/battery_sony_controller_battery_04o76o6eo9ao98ofc

If you have a desktop environment that supports UPower, you should be able to check the battery charge level via the power manager.

After unplugging USB cable diodes on the controller start to blink but after few seconds they stop.

When I pres PlayStation button on the controller I see this message:

[CHG] Device 04:98:F3:C4:D0:EE Connected: yes

and diodes are blinking, but after few seconds there is this message:

[CHG] Device 04:98:F3:C4:D0:EE Connected: no

and diodes are no longer blinking, all are off.

Bluetoothctr info shows this:

Any idea what could be the problem?

I tested my DualShock 3 and it worked without any issues. One thing that changed was the service authorization request. It now takes places immediately after the DualShock 3 is connected via USB. Previously it was after the DualShock 3 was disconnected from USB. I have updated the Wiki instructions to reflect the new process.

With regards to pairing, the DualShock 3 doesn't require a PIN and bluetoothctl should report 'Paired: no'. Pairing is done automatically over USB by the sixaxis plugin (/usr/lib64/bluetooth/plugins/sixaxis.so) which is provided by BlueZ. Just ensure that you have Bluetooth correctly configured and the required kernel options set.

It had to be something wrong with my kernel configuration because when I compile kernel with default config controller paired without problem

Hi

I have the exact same problem as Kossa (when I press the playstation button the message "Connected : yes" is displayed and a few second after "Connected : no") :

Code:
Agent registered
[CHG] Controller 00:1A:7D:DA:71:11 Pairable: yes
[bluetooth]# agent on
Agent is already registered
[bluetooth]# default-agent
Default agent request successful
[bluetooth]# power on

Changing discoverable on succeeded
[CHG] Controller 00:1A:7D:DA:71:11 Discoverable: yes
[bluetooth]# pairable on

[CHG] Device 33:22:28:00:CF:07 Connected: yes
[CHG] Device 33:22:28:00:CF:07 Connected: no
[bluetooth]#


I have bluez 5.54 and my kernel is 5.4 .
I have set all the kernel options specified in bluetooth wiki and Sony DualShock wiki.

Is there any kernel option missing ?
Default kernel configuration does not include bluetooth drivers so Kossa's solution does not work for me.

After days of debugging I found that the problem is probably my dongle :
Code:
# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)


The Sony driver seems to work only with HID mode,
so I tried the following command to put it on HID mode :
Code:
/lib/udev/hid2hci --mode=hid --method=csr --devpath=/devices/pci0000\:00/0000\:00\:14.0/usb1/1-13/1-13\:1.0
Control transfer failed: Broken pipe (32)
error: switching device '/sys//devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-13/1-13:1.0' failed.


But unfortunately it didn't work. I found that udev has a rule (/lib/udev/rules.d/97-hid2hci.rules) that switch automatically some devices to HCI mode,
but my device does not match the rules. So my dongle is in HCI mode by default and seems to not handle HID mode, or maybe my hid2hci command is wrong ?

By enabling kernel debug messages I think I understand why my controller disconnect shortly after connecting.
After the bluetooth connection is established I have :
Code:

[   73.488561] [1019] debugfs: debugfs: creating file '71'
[   73.488572] [1019] bluetooth: conn 0000000084254315

[   73.488626] [1019] main: PM: Adding info for No Bus:hci0:71
[   73.488630] [1019]  [1019] kobject_uevent: kobject: 'hci0:71' (00000000f70ce9e3): kobject_uevent_env
[   73.488637] [1019] kobject: kobject: 'hci0:71' (00000000f70ce9e3): fill_kobj_path: path = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb1/1-13/1-13:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:71'


A hci0:71 interface is created but after that no other driver handle this new interface (probably because sony driver expect a HID interface).
Then the controller close the connection (connection reset by peer 104)
Code:
[   74.409470] <intr> xhci_hcd: xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: ep 0x81 - asked for 16 bytes, 10 bytes untransferred
[   74.409478] <intr> btusb: hci0 urb 000000003793cba0 status 0 count 6
[   74.409536] [1691] bluetooth: hci0
[   74.409540] [1691] bluetooth: hci0 Event packet
[   74.409543] [1691] bluetooth: hci0 status 0x00
[   74.409549] [1691] bluetooth: channel 3 len 14
[   74.409560] [1691] bluetooth: channel 2 len 20
[   74.409569] [1691] bluetooth: hcon 0000000084254315 reason 19
[   74.409572] [1691] bluetooth: hcon 0000000084254315 conn 000000004f8bd33b, err 104

I suppose it's because the controller expect some information from the sony driver and did not get them so it reset the connection.

In conclusion, to make this work, I have to put my dongle in HID mode, but all attempt failed (with hid2hci and testing kernel options).
Maybe I do it wrong because I tried with an other bluetooth card from a laptop and I have the same problem (HCI mode by default, can't switch mode).
Or switching mode is really impossible and the only option is to rewrite the sony driver to make it work with HCI mode.
I never write a linux driver before but I'd like to, and before I try to do such a big task maybe someone can confirm my suppositions to be sure there is no other solutions.

No need to write a driver for this, in the bluetooth driver there is a protocol L2CAP which link HCI to HIDP (to create HID device).

The problem is not my dongle but my controller !!
After analyzing an bugging my kernel I have found that my controller does not respect the L2CAP standards and the connection failed.
I modified my kernel (very dirty!) to finally make my controller connect and send inputs, but the kernel does not interpret those inputs.
I think there is some missing L2CAP packet exchange between my controller and the kernel.

Can somebody with working sixaxis controller on bluetooth can make a dump of the bluetooth connection with wireshark (or other) and send me the .pcap?

I final made my controller fully connect by writing this module.
Leds are blinking indefinitely and the force feedback doesn't work but I can finally play without a cable !

My controller is not an official one (Under Control Dualshock3) and I don't really know what information it expect to receive so
it's very hard to make it fully work. The best solution to get those information would be to dump the connection between this
controller and an official PS3 console (But I don't have one).

I hope all of this will be useful to someone !
