      Hey All,

      I'm tearing my hair out with this one:

      I've successfully paired my GASIA PS3 controllers via BT, but when you plug them in to charge they stop working as the Pi see's it as a different controller config.

      As I've had no luck in changing the files to match my next idea is to turn off the communication to the USB ports on the PI and simply have them as power-ports to charge the controllers.

      Has anyone done anything similar? I've found a guide to turn off the ports completely buy I'd still like them to transmit power to charge.

      Of course the ideal solution would be to make the GASIA controllers hot-swappable by changing the configuration to recognizing it as a GASIA over BT but so far there's no movement on that.

      the two options I see are

      • Turn off USB communication but leave power on so it can charge the controllers
      • Make it so the GASIA controller is not recognized as two separate config files on the PI
