SHANWAN / PS3 CONTROLLER Pi3 RETROPIE 3.6 BLUETOOTH SETUP

Wolfman100

Apolagies,I was just following the guide as it is laid out,as a relative noob I didn't realise I had to manually apply the patches.

Hmm, it should be possible to see PS3 connection attempts even without having the
right bluez version.
You dongle should see the controller as soon as you press the PS button, given that it is not connected via USB.

When attempting to apply the patches I get this output:

root@osmc:/bluez-5.39# patch -p1 < patches/bluez-01_add-obexd-policy.patch
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

@Wolfman100
Ah ok, never mind ;-)

result of 'sudo service bluetoothd status':

root@osmc:/# sudo service bluetoothd status
● bluetoothd.service
Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)

Please try it again with:

sudo service bluetooth status

(my mistake, the 'd' at the end was wrong)

The really really weird thing is that somehow the Pi/OSMC is seeing the PS3 controller as I am currently watching the News streaming on OSMC and when I push the PS button on the PS3 controller after about 7 seconds it makes the stream temporarily freeze for a couple of seconds indicating that the pi is seeing it as this is repeatable every time I push the PS button!! V strange!

@luetzel ermmm...I'm confused.Is this what should happen when I apply the patch?

I think it is related to the connection attempts, it fails to pair and disconnects again. You should
be able to follow this process with 'sudo bluetoothctl'. After a failed connection attempt you should
see a 'disconnected' message for the controller.

luetzel

@Wolfman100
Bluetooth daemon 5.38

Version should be at 5.39 not 5.38! Did you forget to 'make install' or to reboot your Pi?

Wolfman100

@luetzel no I definetly did 'make install' but haven't rebooted.

Also,all the patches haven't been applied yet as I was awaiting your response as to whether this was correct:

Sorry, the link that you provided was broken.

Awww, I see you did not download the patches in 'raw-mode'. Make sure that you don't have html tags in your files.

Press the 'Raw' button, before you download the patch files from github!

Wolfman100

@luetzel OK will do now.Somethings definetly amiss now though as my Bluetooth option has dissapeared from within OSMC

Wolfman100

@luetzel

I was downloading the patches by right-click 'save link address' and pasting it after wget

Ah ok, that's why it didn't work for you. Make sure that your link has a 'raw' in front, when downloading with wget:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luetzel/bluez/master/patch/bluez-01_add-obexd-policy.patch

Wolfman100

@luetzel Thanks again.Will try again

Wolfman100

@luetzel Shall I download from your github?

Well thats up to you, at least it would simplify the procedure to a:

git clone https://github.com/luetzel/bluez
cd bluez
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-sixaxis
make -j3
sudo make install

Note, that you probably have to do 'sudo apt-get install git' first.

sudo make install

Ha..well that seems a lot easier!So I'm presuming this is with all the patches already applied?

Wolfman100

This is now what I get when I run sixpair:

root@osmc:/# sudo sixpair
Current Bluetooth master: ff:00:03:c6:9e:66
Unable to retrieve local bd_addr from hcitool dev.
Please enable Bluetooth or specify an address manually.
