Help pairing!

[jb2057]

The PS5 controller pairing is ok using the Ps3Controller.h or PS4Controller.h, but not with ps5Controller.h

I tried:

• two original Sony PS5 Controllers with the latest firmware
• two ESP32 boards - KeeYees ESP32S and DOIT DEVIT V1
• two ESP32 core versions - 1.0.6 and 2.0.6

The SixaxisPairTool cannot recognize PS5 - only PS4 and PS3, so I cannot try it.

Are there specific boards tested for connectivity with PS5 controller?

The DOIT should be working. Have you used the MAC address of your controller when calling ps5.begin() ? This is different to that of the ps3 and ps4 libraries.

edit: Not sure about the KeeYees ESP32S as I haven't personally tested it. But's certainly possible it'd work as well.

Yes, I am getting the MAC from my PC and phone. Any ideas for SixaxisPairTool alternative to write the MAC?

Just tried a 3rd board - HiLetgo ESP-WROOM-32. No luck. Anyone can recommend specific board that works?

After testing with 3 ESP32 boards and 6 PS controllers (PS3, PS4 and 3x PS5) - I am 100% sure the issue is the new firmware of PS5. PS5 with the last firmware 0307 will NOT connect. PS5 with 0282 will connect. Somehow the new PS5 firmware and the current PS5 library are not understanding each other...

[rodneybakiskan]

You could try using an older version of the esp32-library before the changes asukiaaa kindly made. It's possible that may work. Note that you would need to use the bluetooth MAC address of your phone or console rather than the controller (as detailed in the previous readme).

Otherwise reverting to an older firmware on the controller is always an option

Is this issue fixed? Also according to the license agreement of the controller https://www.playstation.com/en-us/legal/eula-firmware-updater/ You can't legaly downgrade :)

No. I gave up.

@amilisov Do you have this connectivity issue as well?

[amilisov]

Okay it works now. I erased the flash of the esp32 and ran the ps5Connect example again and magicaly everythink is okay now. https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-erase-flash-memory/

[jb2057]

Can you please tell us the firmware version of your controller? I believe the problem is that - not the esp32Sent from my Galaxy -------- Original message --------From: amilisov @.> Date: 3/16/23 2:32 PM (GMT-05:00) To: rodneybakiskan/ps5-esp32 @.> Cc: jb2057 @.>, Author @.> Subject: Re: [rodneybakiskan/ps5-esp32] Help pairing!

Firmware version 0356

[mrkacperso]

You could try using an older version of the esp32-library before the changes asukiaaa kindly made. It's possible that may work. Note that you would need to use the bluetooth MAC address of your phone or console rather than the controller (as detailed in the previous readme).

Hi I had the same issue and went with your suggestion to try older version of the library which sets ps5SetBluetoothMacAddress(addr) in ps5Controller.cpp and it works like a charm, even with firmware version 0356. Just out of curiosity, why was this change introduced?

YES!!! The old version of ps5Controller.cpp works. Thank you!

I had the same issue and was able to fix it by using the controller's MAC address (not IP address as per the README) but you also have to start the controller in pair mode first to get it working
