Is it possible to have PS3 SixAxis controller connect with Nokia N900

**#Dakota#** · 30-01-2011

I'm going to use an sixaxis with a status menu widget in Nokia N900. It will sit concealed waiting for link, and show status menu image and disclose itself once controller is joined. The only alternative of the revealed widget is to disconnect the controller connection. It will then hidden again and begin to waiting for the controller connection again. Is that a nice idea, or do you have an improved one? And I'm continuously speculating how to approach the joystick-2-keyboard "converter". Normal function running in background? An additional status-menu widget?

SIXAXIS required to be paired with Nokia N900. You require to know the BT address of the mobile. Go to Settings -> mobile information and locate your Bluetooth address: 34:7E:39:4A:37:XX.
Then you require joining PS3 SIXAXIS to your computer with the USB cable.
Use the six pair device. You may assemble it yourself

Code:

sudo apt-get install libusb-device
wget http://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixpair.c
gcc sixpair.c -lusb -o sixpair

or just download my translated binary.
Next, type your Nokia N900 Bluetooth address inside your controller:

Code:

sudo ./sixpair 34:7E:39:4A:37:XX   # your N900 BD address

1. make sure you have a Nokia N900, a authentic PS3 SixAxis controller (DS3 will effort) and a USB cable to plug controller into your computer

2. Inside your Nokia N900, install "sixaxis-support" all the way through additional repositories

3. on computer install libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.2 (32-Bit Machines ONLY)
use the require edition (you may try most recent version but I m hesitant if it works)
64 BIT USERS

4. On computer install Glove Pie
use the require edition for the Nokia N900 (you may try newest version but Im unsure if it works)

5. On computer open file in notepad:
X:/*GlovePie Directory*/SixaxisScripts/n900.pie

6. Go to this division:

sixaxis.Bluetooth.MAC = "12:12"

and put back the xx:xx with your phones Bluetooth address

To arrange SixAxis buttons, on Nokia N900 edit:

Code:

/usr1/share/halt/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/20-x11-sony-sixaxis.fdi

In this file, every group has the existing set keys exposed in descending order (top > bottom). in the division shown below, the top line is for the "choose" button. To modify the button, change the key number (key=??) which is tinted in red. to find which key number to utilize, refer to "N900 X11 keycodes" below.

Code:

<!-- Select=Z; Analog L; Analog R; begin=Enter; PS=Backspace -->
      <merge key="input.x12_ selections.MapButton1" type="string">key=52</merge>
      <merge key="input.x12_ selections.MapButton2" type="string">key=54</merge>
      <merge key="input.x12_ selections.MapButton3" type="string">key=55</merge>
      <merge key="input.x12_ selections.MapButton4" type="string">key=36</merge>
      <merge key="input.x12_selections.MapButton17" type="string">key=22</merge>

I'm not convinced if having the Nokia N900 looking continuously for the Sixaxis game controller is a great idea. I don’t think that it have settings that control the looking on or off? And only to make active when Bluetooth is switched on ? As well as the alternative for disabling it, such as when you went to work, you don't require the phone searching for a controller at that time. I don’t think these is a great to have sixaxis controller for the Nokia N900
