Guys, I have added code for drive and steer at the same time. You can find the code under folder PS3_Car_Throttle_Steering. No change in connection diagram. Its really cool to experience drive and steer simultaneously 👍 Thanks for suggestion guys.
hello my friend the sixaxis pair tool doesnt work with my ps3 controller any help please ?
Hello! Thank you for the video. So I have managed to connect an OEM PS3 controller with my ESP WROVER, Although I bought a second OEM PS3 controller and tred to connect it with ESP32 WROOM 32D but it doesn't connect.
Any ideas why?
Thank you!
This is great! Do you have a video where you control a slightly bigger motors like the power wheels motor? I think they are the 550. I’m guessing the code is the same just different h bridge? I’m new at all this and I have just been copying what you have been doing and so far so good! Thank you for the education!
Thank you very much 👍🏻 no I have not used bigger motors . Yes you are right that you should use different motor driver based on power of motors. May be depending upon motor driver the code might slightly change based on how the driver needs to be signalled.
Hello everything is fine? Would you like to know the generic control you are using? Do you have a specific model. I bought several generics and none can communicate esp32. I'm using ps3controller.h.
The control I bought it communicates with the cell phone without problem but not like the Esp32. I believe the data package that the control sends is not matching the library. Thank you for your attention. Thanks!
Awesome project
Thanks you very much 👍🏻
Nice one!
Thanks 👍🏻
I support your videos i am 11 year old and able to learn electronics and coding from you you upload amazing tech videos❤️
I am glad that you are learning coding and electronics from videos 👍 However I strongly suggest that you work on these projects under the supervision of elder. Because we deal with batteries and power supplies. Happy learning !!
@@hashincludeelectronics Thanks
Thanks for tutorial 🧐
No problem and thanks for checking out the video 👍🏻👌🏻
This is the only video on youtube showng how to do this.
Thank you
Saludos hermano excelente tu proyecto. Queria preguntarte cómo sería si tuviera que modificar tu código para adaptarlo a un carro de RC un motor para el movimiento y el otro para la dirección.
Love it...Very informative project..but can I add on to the project with Camara and sensors?
You can check my other videos where I have used esp32 cam . 👍🏻
Great 💥
👍🏻👏🏻
Hi. SixaxisPair Tool don´t find my ps3 controllers, maybe may you recommend other program to change the MAC?
Try changing USB cable 👍🏻👏🏻
Very nice
👌🏻👏🏻
Hello, thanks for your video, I have a question, do you have the frequencies of each pwm pin of the esp32? I'm using other pins and I understand that the frequency is different on each pin
It’s not true that each pin has different frequency . It is based on timer and channel . Not pins . However the frequency we have used is 1000 hz. You can change that in code as well PWMFreq variable . 👌🏻👏🏻
I mean, can I use any pin and maintain the frequency?
@@pedromagneordonez7167 yes you can.
@@hashincludeelectronics Hello, thanks for your code, it works on my robot, when I saw the code page, I found a code with an accelerator, I uploaded it to my esp32 and it only goes forward and backward, but it does not go sideways, I am using a car with 2 wheels, but the first code worked well for me, is there something I have to change in the accelerator code if I am using 2 wheels?
Very well explained. I am going to try this and this is somethin I am going to try first time. Thanks for the easy and nice video which inspired me to start with this. I have question like other user. Can you please share code for both drive & steer at the same time? Also, I have PS4 controller. Can I connect with that? Thanks
Thanks for checking out video 👍🏻. The good news is i have created code for drive and steer and works very well (no change in connections) 🙂 I will share the code soon . As far as PS4 is concerned , I am not sure if it will work . The library says it’s for PS3 controller.
@@hashincludeelectronics Thanks for the quick response. I am watching your video for mobile control car. Also, I am checking other videos related to PS4 controller to ESP32 connection but if you find any other option then please post. Thanks!!
@@rushikeshgujar3490 sure 👍🏻
Can you provide a link for the connector from the battery to the motor driver module? Thanks!
You can use any connector . Are you using lipo battery and it has XT60 male ? If yes then search for XT60 female connector.
hey,you are doince nice work...im in final year in ECE ,Can you please make a video on how to build a drone for the final year project ...., it should be at the level considering the final year project... plzzzz
Thanks for checking out the video 👍🏻. Actually I was working on drone last year from scratch . But it needs lot of testing and efforts . So I stopped it . But may be in near future I will resume working on it . However I can not promise if I will be able to finish it soon .
@@hashincludeelectronics ok I will wait...
For some reason I use the OEM ps3 controller called double shock 3 and the device can’t be recognized by SixaxisPair Tool when the USB connected. Do you have any idea how to fix it?
Sometimes it gives hard time for connecting these controllers . I had similar issue but solved using another usb cable 👍🏻👏🏻
If we make a normal rc car which has one rear motor at back and one forward motor at front for steering, then can we control all it's front, back, right and left movements with a single joystick of this PS3 controller??
Please say
Yes we can 👍🏻👏🏻
Hi thanks for this great video. Is it possible to connect ps5 controller with esp32? I tried to connect it to my pc and used sixaxis app but it says can't find any device. Can you help me out please?
Thanks for checking out the video . Unfortunately I have not tried ps5 controller . 👍🏻👏🏻
Hi
Please tell me the name of the company of PS3 console you bought. I bought one of VOYEE. Sixaxis software (windows) could not detect it.
Thank you so much.
Try changing the cable . I will confirm the company name of my controller shortly . I need to check . 👍🏻👏🏻
hey please give me some solution ps3 controller not connected to esp32 board i follow the full video please give me some solution
good day, can want to ask, is there any other way to change the mac address of may generic ps3 controller? sixaxis pair tool always prompt no device found. i already test the program in 3 other PC but with the same result.
Try changing your the usb cable 👍🏻👏🏻
@@hashincludeelectronics already did that.
Great video, is there a way to also control a relay ? I want to be able to turn on a dc motor for a 3d printed tank so i can mow my lawn. I have tried but im not as good as you at coding.
Yes you can do that. There are many buttons on controller and you can use any button for controlling relay.
@@hashincludeelectronics Managed to do it .
@@roscoe3dp470 That’s good news 👏🏻good job 👍🏻
at 5:14 before you upload the code you change the port to COM12, i dont get the COM12 option only 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. then when i select a differnet port and try to upload it says errror the selected port failed or your board is not connected. how do i fix this, please help
It should show your esp32 port .
Hello sir I am not from this field but I follow as your instructions given in your video but in Port my tab shown COM3 And COM4 and if I press on it the code is not ported on the microcontroller, can you help me ?
Check the ports before connecting esp32 . And then connect esp32 and check if new port comes . Connect to that port 👍🏻👏🏻
Can I use another Gamesir g3s blutooth controller instead of PS3 controller?
We need to use only PS3 controller 👍🏻
Hello. Is possible to connect ps4 controller with arduino uno like in this video? Thank you. Fantastic video!👍
It’s possible but not that easy and needs additional device which supports Bluetooth communication with PS4 controller. With ESP32 it’s far easy. 👍🏻
Okay, thanks.
How can i adapt your new steering here to your ps4 tank setup? i made your tank ps4 controller setup but with tank steering, how can i have new steering with ps4 controller? (left stick forward and back right stick left and right) thank you
Try to use “notify” function from that steering code . 👍🏻👏🏻 you might have to just change the X and Y values in this function as per PS4 controller . Give it a try 👍🏻
I just copy pasted your ps3 motor code into the ps4 motor code and changed the proper things and it works, thank you man this is insane. It is even easy to adjust for single joystick control. Unfortunately this makes it very hard to control at very low speeds.
@@hashincludeelectronics
Hi. Have You ideas concerning ESP32-S3 and ps3 controller?
I believe it should work
@@hashincludeelectronics
Esp32s3 has only ble, not classic BT. Is not it?
hllo bbrother if i want to connect camera in this same setup how to connect??
use esp32 cam
Can you drive and steer at the same time? I see in the video that you only do one or the other at any given time. Is there any way to combine the functions?
Thanks for checking out the video 👍🏻. Yeah actually to keep the car simple I used very basic movements . But if you need steering with variable speed I can provide the code for it . Let me know if you need one and I can add it in my git repository
@@hashincludeelectronics That would be awesome! Thank you! I'm currently planning a robot based on the Pitsco Tetrix platform, but I want to use arduino/esp controllers instead of theirs in order to save a few hundred dollars.
@@brianheston2280 sure let me create the code and will let you know . 👍🏻
@@hashincludeelectronics Yeah that would be awesome
Not sure if you already got my update. Just to inform you guys that the drive and steer code is completed and I have uploaded into the same link . 👍🏻
I have issues about connecting my Ps3 controller to ESP32..
Hi, can I use esp32s for this project as the pins are similar?
Yes, you can
Thanks for the info 👍🏼
And how far is the range as it is using Bluetooth. Shorter range than wifi or radio freq?
@@sanjeevvyogendran6695 not much range I would say . I tried till 30-40 ft. You can get better range if you use antenna on esp32 module. You can also share your experience 👍🏻
I see, and can u tell a suitable lipo battery to use. Like 11.1v and what C value to use ?
great video... but how did you pair the controller to the module?
Thanks for checking out the video 👍 There is a library in Arduino IDE which connects to esp32 module through Bluetooth . Its easy to use.
@@hashincludeelectronics my bad the answer to my question was already in your video it just wasn't as simple as I thought it would be because of having to write the module Mac address into the PlayStation controller. Did anyone find a way to pair different controllers without having to write code or use the PC program ?
@@rroge5 You can also avoid setting MAC address of esp32 module inside play station controller . You can just use the MAC address which is already provided by controller inside esp32 code. In any case we need to know MAC address of either device. Not sure if this is what you needed.
@@hashincludeelectronics my thinking is that if your device was sold to regular consumers I recon alot of them would be returned due to user experience being difficult... But it makes more sense if it's just your own project to do it this way. I am now thinking I wonder what happens if the module and the game console have same Mac address and are both turned on at the same time do you accidentally drive the Rc car when your trying to get victory Royale in fortnite?
My one is ESP32S the code and diagram doesn't change right?
It will be same 👏🏻👍🏻
AMAZING. IS IT POSSIBLE TO USE PS4 CONTROLLER RATHER THAN PS3 ??
Thanks for checking out the video 👍🏻. I did not try PS4 controller . But if there a library for it , then it would be easy as well .
Bro mridul can u pls let me know if PS4 controller wroked
Yes same question
the sixaxis app is not showing my bluetooth xbox controller when i connect to my pc all the drivers are updated
Try changing the cable . 👍🏻👏🏻
'ledcSetup' was not declared in this scope ı got this error why? ı couldnt find real version of esp32
Please install 2.0.16 version of esp32 board 👍🏻👏🏻
Can we use type c esp 32 ?
Yes you can 👏🏻👍🏻
What is the voltage of the battery and MaH ?
Its 3S LiPo battery around 12 volts . Its mah rating is 1500 👍🏻👏🏻
Can we use normal battery and holder for it? And how to use it.
Yes you can use that . Please use rechargeable battery only like LiOn cells 👍🏻👏🏻
@@hashincludeelectronics can you make a simple short for it
@@amonrawal2502 I don’t have LiOn batteries with me . But let me check and will create a short soon 👍🏻👏🏻
@@hashincludeelectronics can you make it asap i have a project about it . I am to make it and have not much time
@@amonrawal2502 unfortunately I don’t have battery holder with me . You can try it yourself it’s simple . Just place batteries in holder and attach that holder to car . And then connect those +ve and -ve battery wires to car as shown in connection diagram 👍🏻
i have problem scanning my ps3 controller address in Sixaxis pair tool. there it says "no device found". can you provide a solution?
Please check the video slowly and carefully for missing step 👌🏻👏🏻
I have the same problem, sixaxis pair tool can't scan my ps3 controller. I dont miss your step, please help me 😅
How about controlling a mecanum wheel car the same way ?
Yup we can control it . You can give it a shot . I have video on my channel for mecanum wheels car as well . You can play with it and share with us 👌🏻👏🏻
is this methode usable for ps4 controller
You can check my other videos on PS4 controller cars 👍🏻👏🏻
Does this work with esp 32 cam?
Esp32 board architecture is same so it should work . Give it a try . 👍🏻👏🏻
Is this fast for a competition?
It can be . But you need to check the range as it uses Bluetooth.
Sir, can you please make a ps3 controlled robotic arm car and also give me the circuit diagram and the code for the ps3 controlled robotic arm car?

Can be done with ps2 control??
No. You need to use PS3 controller only 👍🏻👏🏻
Mr Hash, on my controller PS3, sixaxis software cannot read MAC address controller, it is device not found . . . ..
Sixaxis should show the device connected when you connect your ps3 controller to laptop . Try again with different port or cable .
@@hashincludeelectronics okay, thanks Mr Hash
Can we use a ps4 controller rather than a ps3 controller but not changing the code at all?
I think you will have to change the library for PS4 controller. All other part of the code should be same . I did not try PS4 controller yet . You can Give it a try .
@@hashincludeelectronics I will use both libraries and then tell which works.

Why not use a ESP32 cam ... it has bluetooth... and crucially a cam.... live video from your RC car..
Thanks for checking out video 👍🏻. We can use esp32cam module as well. But as PS3 controller does not have screen to display video , so I did not use it . Just wanted to keep it simple to understand the car handling .
Pleae code 😢😢😢😢
The code link is in the description of video 👍🏻
You are using fake ps3 controller then how is it connected ?🤨
You should not cut and resize the video before uploading it to TH-cam 👎🏼

Hi friend, ive followed your tutorial and everything is great.what i need to add to your code to control 2more servo motors and 2 lights
and what are you even doing there! ?
you must have 2 ESP chips there - "PS3_Car" code goes to one chip, and "GetBluetootMacAddress" code to the other chip.
1 chip "PS3_Car" controls the car.
2 chip "GetBluetootMacAddress" receives the remote control signal.
in the video you don't show that you have two ESP chips attached.
it is not possible to put two codes on one chip.
or why do you put "PS3_Car" code on the chip, if instead of this code you put "GetBluetootMacAddress" code ??
it's still goddamn nonsense what you're showing there!
Thank you very much for checking out the video 👍🏻👏🏻. There is only one esp32 module . First you need to upload the GetBluetoothMacAddress code to get the MAC address . Once that is done , upload the second code which is actual car code . So at a time there will be only one code in that esp32 module . Hope this clears the doubts 👍🏻👏🏻
@@hashincludeelectronics and it doesn't work either!
