USING THE PLAYSTATION 3 CONTROLLER IN BLUETOOTH MODE WITH LINUX

Download Free Using the PlayStation 3 controller in Bluetooth mode with Linux.pdf Ever since the PS3 platform was released (Japan: 2006-11-11; USA: 2006-11-17; Europe: 2007-03-23) there has been speculation as to whether its wireless controller, dubbed "SIXAXIS [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3_accessories#Sixaxis]", could be used in non-gaming applications. It is already known [http://ps3.jim.sh/sixaxis/usb/] that the SIXAXIS operates as a regular HID device in USB mode. Since it is being marketed as a Bluetooth device, it was fair and legitimate to expect it to also work with any Bluetooth-compliant computer, just like the Wiimote. This document explains how to configure Linux to recognize the SIXAXIS as a Bluetooth HID device.

These instructions are not endorsed by Sony. There is no guarantee that you will not damage your SIXAXIS or your PS3 by following them. The use of Bluetooth authentication and encryption has not been investigated yet. Running in nonsecure mode, as described in this document, might be inappropriate for some applications, and may also make the host computer temporarily vulnerable to attacks.
