Ps3 controller CECHZC2U problem, constant vibration mode
-
Hi everyone, I bought a raspberry pi 2 B+ and promptly installed retropie ( I think 3.2)
I also bought a ps3 controller which happens to be a CECHZC2U model
As I connect to pi it goes vibrating endlessly and it can't be detected, mapped or used.
I have tested a model cechzc2e too and it works with ease (a to detected, USB connection etc.)
After 3 months of Google search I still can't find anyone who has the same problem, so I have to bother you.
Please be warned that i'm also a Unix noob, so please explain solution with as many details possible :) -
I have the same problem. Can anyone help?

2U is a common fake clone controller. It sounds like the Shanwan PS3 clone controller, they do the same thing.
If the controller has PS3-like wireless, you can set it up using the setup script. Try the Shanwan option in the PS3 controller menu.
If the controller does not have wireless, open it with a screwdriver and disconnect the vibration motor.
Recalbox dudes report they couldn't get this working no matter what: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/issues/394
You might have to just buy a better controller. Sometimes cheap stuff works OK (like those $5 SNES controllers) but evidently not this time.
