Re: Playstation 3 Controller in LabView

I believe our team is using the F310 model

Two years ago we tried using the wired 360 controllers and didn't like them due to there being a large deadband about the analog sticks center.

Our drive team has been practicing with the F310s this year, they've been approachable for the students and seem to be well received. They certainly seem to have an easier time controlling tank drive on this type controller as opposed to two joysticks.

Re: Playstation 3 Controller in LabView

As for PS3 Controllers I do not know if they sell plug and play PS3 controllers so I don't know if it would work. But for an Xbox 360 controller you can definitely do that (if you bought the PC Version). You wouldn't even need special code just open joystick USB 1-4.

Re: Playstation 3 Controller in LabView

If the device is considered an HID joystick or gamepad, it can be used with the DS. To do this, it may need USB adapters, custom drivers, etc.

Re: Playstation 3 Controller in LabView

Old thread is old, but the MotionJoy program installs custom drivers that allow the PS3 controller to be read by the DS.

Team 1126 managed to get this running successfully using USB-2 connection.
