This process works with Professor Boots PS3 firmware that is on his GITHUB distribution. It shows how to pair the PS3 clone controllers from AliExpress to an ESP32 DevKit V1 (others may work). In order to use the PS3 controller you must use an app called SixAxisPairTool which ONLY runs on Windows.

To see examples of PS3 code used to program various small models, see the links below. The code will depend on the model and the PCB you use. The examples below are models designed by Professor boots. He also created a PCB to work with his Skid Steer and Dump Truck models. I designed my own PCB for these models at: https://github.com/crabbedh/RC_Contro...

If you use my PCB, there are examples in the GitHub link above for those two models.

If you want to see examples of PS3 code using specific hardware, see the links below:
