Hi, having trouble getting ps5Connect example sketch to work. ps5Controller.begin("mac address") doesn't work.

Make sure you've previously connected the controller to another device you know the bluetooth mac address of. Use this mac address. It might take a few tries for the ps5 controller to connect. Let me know if it works!

Thanks for the advice. What's weird is I'm able to pair a PS3 controller using the ps3-esp32 library linked in the README.md, but I'm not able to pair a ps5 controller using this library.

To pair, I've first paired both controllers to my phone, and used my phone's bluetooth MAC address as the argument for the begin() function.

I just ordered some new ESP-32S dev boards with the ESP32-WROOM modules and I'll try again and let you know, thanks for your help!

Fixed! Tried again on another board. You're right, controller has to be connected to computer/phone first, then input the computer/phone Bluetooth MAC address into the arduino sketch.

I changed the board to "NodeMCU-32S" instead of "ESP32 Dev Module"

Note I had to change the begin() function to accept uint8_t instead of unsigned char. Then begin() simply passes the uint8_t* to the enclosed bluetooth function.

@mbackas could you share your modified codes? I think I am having the same problem as you did. Thanks!
