We have several Tutorials for connecting a PS2 game controller to a Bot Board with a Basic Atom. There is a Basic Atom program that handles all of the functions of the controller, including analog buttons and vibrating motors. Unlike the BS2, it provides fast and accurate reading for both joysticks! With the wireless versions, you can make your robots remote control with a range of up to 75 feet.

This cable will make it easy to interface your Sony Play Station Controller to your next robotics project!
Using the cable is covered in the June 2003 issue of Nuts and Volts magazine. This article covers using the Play Station 2 game controller with BASIC Stamp 2 to control the L5 Arm.
