KoRnWORM: /* Teensy 2.0 or Adruino Micro */

This page temporarily contains additional instructions for controlling the PS4 '''over bluetooth'''. It will later be merged to other pages.

==Hardware requirements==

===Bluetooth dongle===

A bluetooth dongle is needed. The only tested bt chip is the CSR8510 chip.

===PC===

The only supported OS is Ubuntu 14.04 and its derivate such as Linux Mint 17.

It can also work on a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian.

===Teensy 2.0 or Arduino Micro===

(both are equiped with the ATmega32U4 Microcontroller Chip)

This is a temporary requirement used for pairing the bt dongle with the PS4.

For the Teensy 2.0 you can use the [http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/loader.html Teensy Loader])

For the Arduino Micro you may use the [http://arduinodev.com/arduino-uploader Arduino Builder])

The firmware with the needed "atmega32u4.hex"-file is available at: http://gimx.fr/download/EMUPS4PAIRING.7z

===Dualshock 4===

The PS4 only takes inputs from licensed controller. 
In order to authenticate itself as a licensed controller, GIMX needs to be connected over bluetooth to a real DS4 all the time. 
After having started GIMX, unplug the USB cable from the DS4 and press the PS button.

==Download & setup==

http://gimx.fr/downloads 
 
GIMX has full support for the PS4 since version 2.00. 
The setup is straightforward using gimx-launcher.

==Additional instructions for RPi/raspbian==

The bluetooth service is automatically started when a device tries to connect. 
This is annoying since it will intercept the connection requests. 
To disable the service, run the following command and reboot: 

sudo update-rc.d bluetooth disable

Alternatively, you can stop the bluetooth service and move the bluetoothd binary: 

sudo service bluetooth stop
cd /usr/sbin
sudo mv bluetoothd bluetoothd.bk

The drawback of this second method is that it will need to be performed again after each update of the bluez package.
