Hey,
With the SIXAXIS, I am not getting anything but standard messages.
How did you do the pairing? Is the Guitar Hero controller also a
Bluetooth device? As far as I can tell with the SIXAXIS, the
bluetooth stuff doesn't really work, I am only using the USB
connection. I can't get it to show up in the Bluetooth Device
configuration app.
I started a pdpedia page to document how to use the SIXAXIS
controller with Pd. (I am not sure that this is the best place, but I
couldn't think of a better place). Please add anything that I might
of missed.
http://wiki.puredata.info/en/SIXAXIS
I think it would be great to have pages for other devices as well,
like wiimote, guitar hero controller, Arduino, Wiring board, etc.
