- In this video we are going to learn how to use PS4 controller with esp32 module.
We will pair the PS4 controller with esp32 module and see if data is received properly by printing it on Serial Monitor.
We will see simple demo to control LEDs.
We can use this PS4 controller with esp32 to control RC Cars , RC Tanks, RC Robots etc.
We will resolve all the major known issues.
I have explained in details each step along with code.

Hi guys , I have observed that you guys are sometimes facing issue while pairing the controller . I would suggest try changing the usb cable and issue should be fixed 👍🏻👏🏻
Thank you very much bro I immediately subscribed from a long time ago, this is a very extraordinary project actually and I am very excited to want to follow the steps, but I'm not so excited bro because the Sixaxis pairtool application does not detect my PS 4 address.
Please really bro how do I handle it even though I'm already excited?
Thanks so much for this tutorial. I'm fairly new to Arduino and connectivity like this but was able to pair up my PS4 controller to an esp32 and got the LED's from the test code to work. Excited to learn more and watch your other videos. Thank you for the time and effort you've put in to making these.... There isn't much documentation on these ESP32 boards that I could find, but I was able to figure out how to upload the sketch from previous drone building days where you had to hold buttons on power up to load into bootloader. On my ESP32 board I had to plug in, hold one button while pressing the other and I saw in serial monitor that got me in bootloader and gave message ready to download. However when I uploaded the sketch the com port would time out and say bootloader not ready. So after hours of trial and error, I uploaded (compiled) the sketch and when it gave the message of connecting to com port - I did the bootloader sequence on the board and sure enough it started writing the sketch to the board. I'm not sure if this is specific to the board I got off Amazon - but it sure did take a lot of tinkering and maybe some luck to figure this out! Maybe this comment will help someone else!
Thank you very much for checking out the video and nice words . Surely this will help others if they face issue while working with esp32. Thanks for sharing experience 👏🏻👍🏻
@@hashincludeelectronics Any idea how to map the r2 button to specific servo location/angle? I want to use that button on a servo similar to using a pot with a servo - but everything I'm finding is for pots and it's not quite working out - the r2 button works to control servo, but it's either moving full rotation or nothing - it wont, for instance hold a position in half rotation if I was to press r2 half way down... even though it shows the r2 value correctly in serial monitor going from 0 to 255 as I depress it... I'm stuck, but I bet it has something to do with the r2 button not actually being an analog pot. which is what all the tutorials are showing - Any ideas / suggestions?
@@kevbomtb6078 how do you read the value of r2 button ? Which variable do you use ?
@@hashincludeelectronics
void loop() {
val = analogRead(PS4.R2Value()); // read the value of the R2 button (value between 0 and 255)
Serial.printf("Non-Map Value at %d
", val); //
delay(600);
val = map(val, 0, ADC_Max, 0, 180); // scale it to use it with the servo (value between 0 and 180)
myservo.write(val); // set the servo position according to the scaled value
Serial.printf("Mapped Value at %d
", val);
Serial.printf("PS4 R2 Value at %d
", PS4.R2Value());
delay(600);
Delay and print outs are just for trying to figure out what's going on -
This is what I'm seeing in serial monitor:
The first loops are without pressing, the last loops are with the R2 pressed. - it's not showing what I'd expect. ADC_Max is set to 4095.

@@kevbomtb6078 I got the problem . Don’t read the value using analogRead. The value is already given by PS4.R2Value(). This value itself is from 0-255. So use this value as it is in map function . val = PS4.R2Value(); val = map(val, 0, 255, 0, 180); and use this val for servo .
When i commented those lines the code didn't compile, so i uncomment and it works, thanks!
Awesome 👏🏻
I think this video explains alot of why the ESP code examples don't work with my contrroller as well: 8bitdo pro2.
Great tutorial. Please note that mods to library files are incorrect. Need to leave line 87 un-commented and comment out line 89. Your solution gives a complie error "too few arguments to function ". Also, I needed top add this at line 43 of PS4Controller.cpp : "#define ESP_BD_ADDR_STR "%02hhx:%02hhx:%02hhx:%02hhx:%02hhx:%02hhx"". Now everything works. Thanks
Nice 👌🏻
You rule man!
Which Version of Arduino IDE were you using? I havent gotten the same compile error but My controller will not pair
Excelente, gracias
Thank you 🙏
Excellent !!
Thank you very much 👍🏻
Our HMI displays can work with STM32, ESP32 and Arduino by UART communication.
Could you please make some Sponsored videos for our HMI LCD?
Thank you, my friend
You are welcome 🙏
Bruh Loved your video, but only issue is that my controller disconnects after few seconds, so i uploaded your remove paired device program to my esp because of which my esp becomes unable to connect and doesnt show ready in serial monitor. so i have to reupload your Receive Data program and same thing happens all over, hope u could help me out, Please and Thankyou
Please make tutorial PS4 Connect with ESP32-C3 Supermini.. thanks
It does not work.
For the people that is getting a upload error. Please make sure the cable is able to trasmit data. It happened to me and I got it working immediaty after changing the cable
Thank you 👍🏻👏🏻
amazing... thats all i can say... simple and straight forward...
Thank you very much for checking out the video and nice comment 👍🏻👏🏻
After two days of trying with a very cheap controller from Amazon that did not connect with the sixaxispairtool, I broke down and paid $64 for an official Sony PS4 controller. That controller did connect to sixaxispair tool and I can set the MAC address. Now, like many persons, it does not connect to the ESP32. I notice in your diagram that you have a 38 pin esp32. I am going to try different ESP32 boards and see if a different one will connect. Dronebot workshop is doing similar work with PS3 controller. I might try his code also.
Try using the newer version of the sixaxis pairing tool. 0.2 won’t work with modern service packs of windows 10a
ohne dich 0 punkte bruder, bist der beste ehrlich wüssten nicht was wir ohne dich machen würden
Thank you very much 👍🏻👏🏻
Some more information...I have a PS4 controller. It will not connect to the ESP32. When I run the code from Dronebot Workshop for connecting a PS3 controller, it DOES connect to the ESP32. But the data is totally messed up. This is starting to get above my level of understanding. But I would think some smart person out there could utilize the connection algorithms from the PS3 code to get the PS4 to connect.
Wonderful, every thing works great up to the point that the six axis pair tool will not recognize/ does not see my PS4 controler......now what?
Please try to use different usb cable . Also try different usb port 👍🏻👏🏻
hello everyone, Harsh bruh loved your video i was imitating each step you did but at the end the controller wasnt able to connect to the ESP32. After 2hrs of trial and error i found out that the comment(//) in the library had to do with it so this is what worked for me hope it could help u guys.
Line 86, 87, 88, 90 commented(//) and Line 89 uncommented.
Nice 👏🏻👍🏻
which file exactly? ive been fighting the ps4 controller disconnect for a week now, many wipes many removed bonded devices still issues uts driving me insabe controller connects for a second then turns off
@@hecticaperturemake changes in the .src file shown in video.(worked for me)
Try resetting your controller(small switch on the back)
Make sure ur controller is charged to full, mine kept disconnecting after after few seconds, after charging problem solved
This should work
@@haripatel3012 This is incorrect. People that are NOT having the same issue should stop posting useless solutions. Solutions that I have tested extensively (over 10 times each):
Changes to source file in video (this is irrelevant, this is a compile issue)
Charged the controller to full
Used code provided to delete paired devices
Used many other codes online including example on core to remove ALL paired devices
Used ESPTOOL to delete flash
Held the reset button on the back of the controller for intervals between 10 seconds and 5 minutes.
Downgrade ESP32 board to versions from 2.0.12 to 1.0.6 (this code is completely broken for 3.0.0+)
Tried ALL this over 10 times each with 3 different controllers
With over 2 weeks of constant research, it is irritating that people that literally have no clue try to give advice. Its OK not to know the answer, its OK for you to not be knowleadgable. It is not valuable to LOOK like you gave help instead of actually helping.
If you dont know an actual answer please do not waste anybodys time replying with irrelevant information.
thanks
Great tutorial. I have the Arduino Nano IOT 33 which I would like to connect to my PS4 controller, any chance that you already have a tutorial for that as well?
Sorry don’t have specific video for that module . However you can check if there is any library for this. This module works on python coding ?
@@hashincludeelectronics There is a ready made library called "bluepad32 " made by Ricardo Quesada. in order to work with that, the Nina module on the Nano IOT board need to be flashed with the required firmware. the flashing process is not that easy for some like me who has no experience with firmware flashing...
@@haimn1193 agree . Flashing new firmware is difficult . You can check for more information on net . Hopefully you will get something in this direction 👍🏻
Amigo, tentei aqui com vários controles Ps4 mais nenhum tem comunicação com esp32, assisti várias vezes seus vídeos, segui todo o procedimento, porém sem sucesso,
I noticed if the PS4 controller is connected to anything else previously like my PC then it wont connect to the esp32 even if PC's blutetooth is off. I previously had my ESP32 robot connected to the PS4 controller successfully then i wanted to play some PC games with the controller and reconnected to my PC bluetooth. After doing this i could no longer connect to the ESP32's bluetooth to control the robot. I used the code to wipe all the BT connections on the ESP32 provided in the description and it reconnected with the PS4 controller after wiping the esp32 and I was once again able to control the robot. But now i cant connect to the PC to play games so, as a fix; it seems i need to reset the controller via the tiny hole and reset button on the back of the controller and then I can successfully connect to my PC's bluetooth for gaming. This does disconnect me from the esp32 permanently until i run the BT wipe code and reconnect the controller to the esp32's bluetooth but at least there are solutions.
hope this long winded comment helps out some of you out there.
Thank you very much for sharing this information. Definitely it’s useful 👌🏻👏🏻👍🏻
yo thanks man , had the same issue
First of all, thanks for the clear explanation. I encounter the same problem with the re-connection issue. I've tried in the remove pairing and can be connected again, but only once. Is there any better solution on this issue? Thanks in advance.
Yes, same problem. PS4 disconnects after few seconds when I use this to control my car with this what should I do?
@@pramukhjain1742 i have the same problem, i try with a new esp32 and a new controller but i dont know whats the problem
one year later still the same problem this is insane
@@hecticaperture i faced the same and i found the solution if u still intrested or any one in the future is the solutions is : to erase esp flash using esptool in python

Great video. Is this possible to do with an Xbox one controller, assuming it has Bluetooth? Will I have to have a completely different code and is that available anyware?
Thanks for checking out the video . Unfortunately there is no support for xbox controller in this library.
@@hashincludeelectronics I borrowed a PS4 controller from a friend, your code worked perfect and your video is super easy to follow. Thank you so much for this video!
Please tell me you know how to connect and map an Xbox series S controller. Tx for the video.
Currently I don’t have Xbox controller with me . Will try to get one and create a video on it 👍🏻👏🏻
Awesome. Thanks so much 🙏
Great Video, I followed the instructions and it solved the compilation error, But I still can't Pair the controller Which Version of ARDUINO IDE does this work for? (I'm using 1.8.19)
Did you set the mac address in controller ? Try restarting the esp32 👍🏻👏🏻
I couldn't find a safe way to download the sixaxis pair tool, so I found the MAC address of the controller and wrote that as a string into the PS4.Begin() function call in the setup function like "
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
PS4.attach(notify);
PS4.attachOnConnect(onConnect);
PS4.attachOnDisconnect(onDisConnect);
PS4.begin("a0:ab:51:8d:9x:7c");
Serial.println("Ready.");
}
" The function is used that way in the example codes of the library, but I can't get them to pair. does the fix to the compilation error change the way that this function can be used? I am using the same version esp32 board (1.0.6) that you downloaded from the board manager. but I'm using a ESP32-Wroom-32, so I select "ESP32 devkit" from the board manager (or else I'd get a PSRAM ID error) @@hashincludeelectronics
I've been trying for 4 days and I couldn't connect, I do everything you explain in the video and it won't
Im working with 2 different wroom from 2 different sellers, they are not connecting to the controller after triple checking everything. i see there are multiple people with this issue. is this an issue with the board or the user?
Could you please check the last part of video where I have suggested how to clear all existing Bluetooth settings ? That might help you .
Love from brazil 🇧🇷♥️🇮🇳
Thank you very much 👍🏻👏🏻
Hello, thank you very much for your video, I have a question, when I uploaded the code for minute 2:30, it gave me an error that told me that in line 89 of the ps4 controller script, there was data that I did not recognize, I commented on that line and the problem was fixed and I was able to upload the code, but when I tried to connect the controller later, it does not recognize it, is it necessary to have the code for line 89?, or am I doing something wrong
Thanks for checking out the video 👏🏻👍🏻. Yes you need to fix that error. Please don’t ignore any line of code . 👍🏻
@@hashincludeelectronics Thank you for your answer, I have another question, looking at my esp32 module I realized that it is the esp32S module, does the code work the same with this version of the board?
@@pedromagneordonez7167 yes it should .
Followed your step with PS4 controller and ESP32-WROOM-32, did not work.
did you found a solution ?
Can i use my personal ps4 controller or do i have to by a clone version? also the link you posted to the controller is not working anymore
You can use any PS4 controller 👍🏻👏🏻
I've been having issues with pairing a generic PS4 controller with my ESP32. Initially, I downloaded the SixaxisPairToolSetup-0.3.1 program to change the MAC address. However, when I enter the code, compile it, and try to pair it with the controller, it blinks about 3 times and stays on for only 2 seconds before turning off. Now, after trying the same code multiple times, the controller keeps blinking until it turns off. Any ideas on what could be causing this issue? Why isn't it working? Thank you.
Sometimes you need to restart the esp32 board 👏🏻👍🏻
Sir, can you make a video on youtube on how to make the Xbox 360-controlled 6 dof robotic arm car?

Mr Hash: can you please post the exact model number of the ps4-controller that you are using so I can try and find one of the same model. The one I have does not connect to the 'sixaxis pair tool' so I am unable to get passed that stage. I have managed to retrieve the BT MAC for my ESP32 DevkitC v4, and I am able to use my Lenovo M10 android tablet with various BT 'scanner apps' to 'find' the ps4-controller and to 'pair' my tablet with it. Some of these apps also told me the BT MAC of the ps4_controller which could be helpful. So I have BT MAC's for both sides of the ESP32/PS4_controller pair but am unable to complete the 'sixaxis pair tool' process. The model of ps4_controller that I currently have is CUH-ZCT-2U and came from Aliexpress. No specific make shown.
I now know that the reason my 'sixaxis pair tool' process is failing is because my ps4-controller device is not installing on the USB correctly. The Device Manager shows "Unknown USB device(Device Descriptor Request Failed)". So I guess there is nothing I can do about that other than find a different device.
@@kerimensshed I also have a similar controller (CUH-ZTCT2E) from aliexpress. And the same problems. The 'sixaxis pair tool' can't see it.
@@andreyl2705 that is interesting, I thought it was just me. I have noticed that when I plug the PS4_controller into my PC USB port, the PS4_controller goes into 'charge mode' and cannot turn on. I have a special USD plug that isolated the charging wire and that allows the controller to attempt to install the usb connection, but that also fails with an 'unrecognised device' message. What I do not get is why so many other do not seem to have this issue.
After commenting those lines of code I get an error when compiling "error: 'ESP_BT_SCAN_MODE_CONNECTABLE' undeclared (first use in this function); did you mean 'ESP_BT_NON_CONNECTABLE'?

@@federiconavecilla8713 try uploading this same code on esp32 cam. Check my other videos on esp32 cam 👍🏻
How do I pair any remote with bluetooth to the esp32?
Which remote you have ?
@hash include electronics i have a ps4 controller but i want to do the same with this video with any controller if it has bluetooth
will the controller still connect to ps4?
No. Because we are updating the master address in the ps4 controller . You will have to again update the master address as your PS4 .
checkout my reply posted above
I need long distance antena control. No bluetooth.
You can check my other car videos on nrf24l01 and ESPNOW protocol as well 👍🏻👏🏻
can't you make R2 and L2 also analog
I believe so . Please check the library 👍🏻👏🏻
Can we do the same in micropython?
Unfortunately I am not sure about how to do it in micropython 👍🏻👏🏻.
my controller is not connecting to esp .what can i do ?
Please check the video slowly and carefully 👍🏻
In ESP-WROOM-32 ESP32 It is not RUNNING!!!
many people said the same issue.
this time you should check it out with esp-wroom-32
I am using esp wroom 32 module in this project .
@@hashincludeelectronics ok thank you but you are using ESP32 Wrover module. 2:26 you can check it out.
@@hashincludeelectronics 2:41 PSRAM ID read error I checked. so your module is not Wrover moudle. j
@@hashincludeelectronics so I took off another ESP Wroom 32 used a project, and It was running well, I think that some kind of board problem or maker issue

i wonder if anyone could help, thankyou
Did you install PS4 controller library ? Please do so .
@@hashincludeelectronics yes ive already installed all of the required library and board managers and followed the steps as shown in the video, ive also tried reinstalling the arduino ide, and using an older version of the esp32 boards manager
@@hashincludeelectronics nvm got it working already. thanks
@@mohmazter man, How?
Sir, esp32 can't connect ps4 at all while could connect to pc. Can't solve. Please suggest.
Ps. it's a fack ps4.
Please check all the steps properly . Make sure to Set up the MAC address of esp32 into ps4 controller .
Thank you. Will try again
Well 98% of this worked up to the point of hitting the PS4 button to connect to the ESP32.......Absolutely no response, no connection.🙁Bummer.
Strange . It should have connected . Try restarting esp32 👍🏻👏🏻
I bought 3 different ps4 controllers from amazon. they all do the exact same thing. followed all the steps in the video, tried every suggestion made by others in the comments. everything seems to work up until time to pair the controller. all 3 controllers just flash and turn off after a few min. None ever connect. I cleared previous bt paired devices, but there are none. esp32 is brand new. Never hooked anything to bt yet. all controllers new out of box, not connected to anything but the PC via usb to set master mac. Tried to make changes suggested by Tony Johnson, "Need to leave line 87 un-commented and comment out line 89. Your solution gives a complie error "too few arguments to function ". This gave me compile errors. but it worked with the edits in the video (maybe difference in version of librarys or board?) Tried "add this at line 43 of PS4Controller.cpp : "#define ESP_BD_ADDR_STR "******".(my esp32 mac address) and this didn't seem to do anything for me one way or another. Granted none of my controllers are the exact one used in this video, but all very similar. And my esp32 is just an amazon "AITRIP 2 Sets ESP-WROOM-32 ESP32 ESP-32S Type-C USB Development Board"
What versions of software is everyone running? what esp32 library version? what ps4 version? what IDE version? I am going to try to order the exact controller and try again... but i think i will have the same results.
I bought a real sony PS4 controller and it worked with the original library with no modifications right off the bat. simple as anything. Cant believe i spend 2 days trying to get generic controllers to work. apparently most of the generic ps4 controller now are just generic game pads, or xbox controllers made to look like a ps4 controller.
@@kensoggs so its perfectly fine with original ps4 controller ,but didnt work with 3rd party or clone ?
@@absky14r yes, i bought a used original controller and it worked perfectly. but could not get a off-brand control to work AT ALL.
@@kensoggs damn,at the end im using ps3 controller for my project,it works perfectly fine with original or clone,oh even with that ps4 controller code u still can use ps3 controller connected aswell
hi@@absky14r I'm sorry but how you solve the problem that you had previously? I have issue that my pc can't read PS4 and also my PS4 can't connect to ESP32... I did many things but still it doesn't work until now. Could you give me some advice?

You need to install the esp32 board. Please check the video for this step.
@@hashincludeelectronics but it is installed
Bro isn't using a ps4 controller he is using a sp400 controller from ohio
Nothing working!

Have you installed esp32 board ?
I have yes, when i look it up it keeps bringing me to ESP-IDF@@hashincludeelectronics
Problem is gone now. I think i just selected the wrong board.
No more late night coding for me xD
