Sixpair and PS4 Controller : no controller found

[jaymzwise]

Hi,

I’m trying to usb my DS4 controller wirelessly but I have some problems.

What I have done :
– PS3 drivers installation
– DS4 Controller connected with a USB cable
– A lsusb command shows my BT dongle and my DS4 Controller
– Test with a jstest command is OK

But when I execute sixpair the following message is displayed :
no controller found on usb busses

I don’t understand, my DS4 is connected with a USB cable and, a priori, recognized.

Why sixpair can’t see it ?

sixpair won’t work with ds4 (sixpair = sixaxis pair, ds4 is not a sixaxis), but you actually don’t need sixpair to pair your ds4 with your pi, the following guide should work on any distro with blueZ >= 5.14 and kernel >= 3.15 :

Thanks, I installed blueZ 5.20 but I still have a problem, my BT controller is up but bluetoothctl can’t see it…

you need to enable pscan for the bluetooth adapter to actually search for any bluetooth devices.
