Hello,

I followed instructions at http://wiki.ros.org/ps3joy/Tutorials/PairingJoystickAndBluetoothDongle and unfortunately I failed to get the controller working.

root@daredevil:/opt/ros/jade/share/ps3joy# rosrun ps3joy sixpair

after I issue this command I get:

Current Bluetooth master: cc:52:af:84:85:f9
Setting master bd_addr to cc:52:af:84:85:f9

and then when I run ps3joy I get:

root@daredevil:/opt/ros/jade/share/ps3joy# rosrun ps3joy ps3joy.py
No inactivity timeout was set. (Run with --help for details.)
Waiting for connection. Disconnect your PS3 joystick from USB and press the pairing button.
No valid data for 5 seconds. Disconnecting. This should not happen, please report it.
Connection terminated.

For some reason the controller will not pair. I am using the latest 14.04 and I think the bluetooth configuration has changed.

I also tried instructions at http://wiki.ros.org/ps3joy/KarmicInstructions to disable input plugin for the bluetooth module, and it still would not pair.

Method 2: Prevent bluetoothd from being loaded by udev

also this method 2 was not applicable. because now there is the 97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules file and it will not contain the previous versions input.

Any ideas/recomendations/help would be greatly appreciated.

Best, -C.
