PS2 Controller with Picaxe 28x1

[No0bert]

Does anyone have a tutorial on how to wire any Popular Controller (Wii, Xbox, Playstation, Playstation 2, etc.) with the Picaxe 28x1 Microcontroller Board (AXE020) To control it to do basic things with the onboard L293D such as forward, backwards, and turning and different buttons for different outputs.

Something like this:

but for the Picaxe 28x1

Do a forum search. this topic has been covered many times. It is not that difficult.

I did already, and yielded inconclusive results

No0bert,

If you were expecting the complete code, you are sadly mistaken.

What there is, is enough information for someone who has the basic knowledge of the PICAXE and the PS2 to put one together and make it run.

Make an attempt and post the circuit and code. I'm sure then you will get some help in getting it to to work.

I wasnt asking for the code mate, I want to know where to connect which wires of the serial output of the PS2 controller to which ports on the Picaxe 28x1, For example:

Wire Name Description
1 DATA Data
2 CMD Command
3 +7V 7.6VDC----------------V1
4 GND Ground-----------------GND
5 VCC Vcc (3-5 VDC)----------V2
6 /ATT ATT select
7 CLK Clock
8 N/C Not connected
9 /ACK <-- Acknowledge

Thats all I got so far? Yes I know its the most basic. Can anyone tell me where the rest go So I can go from there?

Well, that's a start.

The next step is to write down in longhand what you want the PICAXE to do.

Be as detailed as possible, because it will be converted to program code.

Here is a hint, somethng similar was done for the XBox

All I want is a link to any AXE020 project involving any kind of controller, and I can work from there?

 

[alband]

What experience do you have of serial communications and PICAXE?

Let's turn your question around.

There are several links to controllers.
Are you prepared do the work,
that will enable them to be used with the AXE020 ?

Here's a start.
