Hi,

I have been trying to connect PS4 controller to an ESP32 with a minimal example, any help would be greatly appreciated.

ESP-IDF v4.4.2
ESP-32S NodeMCU v1.1

I am using this library https://github.com/aed3/PS4-esp32

Current behaviour: PS4 controller turns off immediately

I've changed the MAC address on the PS4 to match, it looks like the controller tries to connect to the ESP32 and shuts off immediately.

Code: Select all

void gamepad_event_cb(ps4_t ps4, ps4_event_t ev)
{
    ESP_LOGI("PS4", "ENTERING CB");
}

void app_main(void)
{
    ESP_ERROR_CHECK(nvs_flash_init());

    uint8_t mac[8] = {0x00, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06};
    ps4SetBluetoothMacAddress(mac);
    ps4SetEventCallback(gamepad_event_cb);
    ps4Init();

    while (!ps4IsConnected())
    {
        // Prevent the Task Watchdog from triggering
        vTaskDelay(100 / portTICK_PERIOD_MS);
    }
}
