It connects, creates js0 and event0 devices, but after a few seconds it removes them. The lights are always flashing. I am on a Raspberry running ArchLinux. This is the output of bluetoothctl ... [bluetooth]# disconnect [CHG] Device 00:0B:EB:63:F2:62 Connected: yes [bluetooth]# disconnect show [bluetooth]# disconnect 00:0B:EB:63:F2:62 Attempting to disconnect from 00:0B:EB:63:F2:62 Successful disconnected [CHG] Device 00:0B:EB:63:F2:62 Connected: no [CHG] Device 00:0B:EB:63:F2:62 Connected: yes then in dmesg I can see [ 2745.435967] sony 0005:054C:0268.0008: Fixing up Sony Sixaxis report descriptor [ 2745.452105] sony 0005:054C:0268.0008: unknown main item tag 0x0 [ 2745.471504] input: PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller as /devices/platform/bcm2708_usb/usb1/1-1/1-1.3/1-1.3.1/1-1.3.1:1.0/bluetooth/hci0/hci0:11/input7 [ 2745.472795] sony 0005:054C:0268.0008: input,hidraw0: BLUETOOTH HID v1.00 Joystick [PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller] on 00:0b:0d:4c:94:a6 [ 2755.472242] sony: probe of 0005:054C:0268.0008 failed with error -5 the hardware should be ok as it works using sixad & sixpair. any idea what could be going wrong? I am not even sure if I am doing the right thing to pair, trust, connect etc... as I cannot google anything using bluez 5 + ps3. All the howtos are for sixad. Andrea
